Around the World in Less Than a Day (12/13/2006)

Not even hours after the news on the Blogger in Residence contest went out, and there was lots of pickup and comments on the contest from bloggers around the world – testament to how fast word and how far word gets around in the Blogosphere.

But this also makes it a little embarrassing for us that the contest is open only to US residents. Rather than a reflection on any nefarious US centric hegemonic view of the world, it really boils down to this - we’d love to have international participation, but we just can’t afford the plane ticket!

So for all of you outside the US, be patient, and we’ll see if we can’t cook something up in the future that is for non-US residents only for a change.
