Three years of bloggingportal. And what a journey it has been. I remember sitting around a huge table in a flat in Brussels – with a certain Jon Worth and the (back then) mysterious Brusselsblogger – dreaming up something that is now known as bloggingportal.

Public Service Announcement: Kosmopolito.org is a political blog which opposes all forms of online censorship. Until today kosmopolito.org’s domain name registrar has been godaddy.com. However, this company seems to be in favour of SOPA (and consequently internet censorship). We therefore changed our registrar in order to support #boycottgodaddy and #stopsopa.

Sorry, time for a selfish plug. A post best characterised as a self-congratulatory ego trip which is so typical for the blogosphere - well, at least some would say that. In case you have not seen it, a couple of days ago my post on German UN diplomacy on Libya was featured here. Actually a [...]
A small step for the EU institutions… - or a small step for bloggers?
