Dafydd ab Hugh has decided to relinguish his position on the Watcher’s Council and, consequently, there’s now an empty seat to fill. If you have a blog, considering applying for it—the current rules are here.
Not long ago a scholar at Carnegie-Mellon produced a network analysis of the blogosphere that suggested that you could get a pretty good idea of what was going on by reading just 100 blogs. Present or emeritus Watcher’s Council members were heavily represented in that 100.
The Watcher’s Council is a great way to find new readers, make a difference, and to punch above your weight class.

did you fill that other open position?

Yes, that one went to Wolf Howling. This is a new opening.
Dave, I’d like to ask that I and Crossroads Arabia be considered.
John and Aziz:
If you’re interested, check the rules linked above and send an email
to the Watcher at
watcherofweasels ~AT~ earthlink ~DOT~ net
(doing the decoding of at sign and dot, of course).
Frankly, I’d be thrilled if either of you were selected.
I think John would be a great addition to the council!
I’m not sure whether I’d be as good a fit, to be honest. Plus, I just am spread so thin anyway that another blog commitment would be hard to do justice to.
