The Vancouver Blogathon – 24 Hours of Blogging

wow thats a lot of typing...

Cool idea, blogging for 24 hours straight. I'd really look forward to meeting a bunch of likeminded people.

Good luck guys. If there is an international version I'd love to enter.

Wow that's crazy. I don't think I could blog that much. At least it's for a good cause.

To me the idea is cute ,let the people do it and make contribute to charity.

Wow that one is quite amazing. I am sure some of them have created most of the posts earlier and now this will be the time to put them on.

This contest looks stupid to me, although charity is one good things that everyone should do.

Thats a cool idea, its good to see the blogger community get together for a real good cause. I cannot match your donation but try to contribute according to my possibilities.

There's isn't any mention of what the blog posts should be about. Having that many thing to write is not that hard if you prepare for it. e.g coming up with topics to write about beforehand.

Nice donation John! I noticed on the website that the total donation reached $2800 and the amount of money aimed is $3000. Only $200 to reach the number wanted.
12 posts in a day?! It takes me long to write each of my articles...

Not easy this, that means around 12 posts which is not easy in a day!

Interesting idea. 48 blog posts in one day is just plain crazy though. I expect the quality of the posts goes down over time.

How interesting will a blog post every 30 minutes be?

It sounds like it is going to be fun, but hard work at the same time. Greg Ellison

I try to write a new post everyday, but if someone ask me to blog a new post every 30 min ..........i will kill myself. :-)

this can be a great event and will be a great history to remember for all blogger

That will be fun, wish I lived closer or had more money so I could attend all of these events, maybe one day.

I see that when a blogger upload his or her post every 30 minutes the quality of the articles will be compromised.

blog post every 30 minutes?

I could only do 6 blog post a day. This is my max.

Bloggers give back. Now that's more like it! Way to go JC!

Nice donation!

On this note of 24 hour blogathon... It's really just on an honor system, right? I mean, what's to stop me from scheduling 6 posts in the middle of the blogathon for every half hour, so I can catch 3 hours of ZZ's?

Still, a nifty idea I'll likely take part in at some point.

Warmest,

What a great idea but hard work especially if they are not together in one big room or something. Being together would boost morale when you are flagging.

Good luck to all.

A blog post every 30 minutes? Blogger who participates must be good in writing skills and must has a lot of ideas in blogging, otherwise it's really challenging to write a blog post every 30 minutes. They must be good writer!

I'm going to see how they're going to do this, must be very interesting. :)

Thanks, John. You can always count on me to raise a stink when I've been left out!

And for all your readers, as far as I know Blogathon is worldwide. It's set to Seattle time, but that doesn't mean you have to be on the Wet Coast to participate OR support. My biggest sponsor is in Australia.

New blog post every 30 minutes. That is un-doable for me. Its hard for me to do 2 posts a day. Good luck to those whom doing it. Good luck and I hope you raise a lot of money.

Great Idea.

again and again . why my country don't such great event like this...

John, your support and generosity continues to amaze me. I'm truly humbled by your contribution. Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to see the help we can all give our causes, and especially the UGM.

John, you're absolutely the best.

Noble work John. I'll see a few of those blogs and see if i can donate something. I'm not very rich to donate as much as you did. But probably i could put in a 50 or 100 for an institution that helps people.

Awesome donation to the UGM, John. Thanks for the mention as well. Hope to see you at Workspace tomorrow if you can make it out for a bit!

Nice donation John! Very cool. I've also donated to Rebecca and the UGM... unfortunately I can't beat your number. However I am still SO glad to be a part of making a difference in our community... yay! :)

Do mine eyes deceive me? Surely you didn't forget me...and I don't THINK I've pissed you off lately!

I'm blogging for the Federation of BC Writers. Workspace is a great space for this, if only because of the 24 hour espresso.
