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. Well, resources were scarce and it took us only another [...]

A small step for the EU institutions… -  or a small step for bloggers?

OK, it was just a pilot project but nevertheless a very interesting endeavour – [...]

And it is a major problem:  Hungary’s new media law. Bloggingportal.eu launched a European Blog Action against Censorship in Hungary and also provides a good round-up of reactions and some background documents (just go through the comment thread!)

So why do we need to talk about [...]
