The hottest new blog in Germany is Blog 27 and they’ve already got a hit song!
Wait a minute… a hit song? Confusing as it may seem, Blog 27 is the name of a blog and a girl duo band from Poland.
The two 13 year olds – Tola and Alicia – have a hit single in Germany called “Uh la la la”. I heard a little sample and let me say that… while it’s not quite as annoying as the crazy frog, it’s certainly “bubble pop” aimed at kids.
Incredibly ironic: there’s not really a blog on their site. There’s a frame with a scrolling news section but no sign of common blog elements such as permalinks, comments, or archives.
I’m sure they’ll be updating the site more as it only launched a week ago but is this a case of “the word blog is cool but we don’t know what it really means”?
In case you’re wondering how I discovered Blog 27, I was glancing through a new music page and wondered if it was a typo or not.
I googled a bit and liked Heiko Hebig’s comments:
Does that mean blogs are finally mainstream in Germany? The medium is the message. Uh La La La.
“Make sure the band name contains the word ‘blog’. Every blogger on this planet will talk about them. They will hit Technorati in less than 72 hours. They will become the biggest stars since Madonna and Prince. Blog… something. Blog 27. What a great name.” Uh La La La.
Clever marketing is being the first.

hey there
i just got across your visual tutorial of wordpress,extremely useful thank you.
I wanted to ask though,is it possible to have it customized to fit into a small scroller ?
I mean i don’t want it to be like a whole page, i have my layout designed already all i want to to is fit it into a scroller box.Is that possible ? Thank you.

It’s all so, so wrong, isn’t it. But like you say it’s a buzz word and gets applied to things without a full meaning. I find a lot of traditional media’s attempts at blogs aren’t really very blog like either, esspecially not when compared to their rivals which started life as internet firms, like the gawker family.
Anyway, all the cook kids have been blogging for years

Blog or weblog like whe say it in Holland, is of course something differend than this site, but neverless i like the layout a little.

Hey Rachel.. I like the 2 column thing and this post frankly sucks, nothing important about the brat pack which is not a blog at all!

Hehe, perhaps it is a sucky post but I’m fascinated by how our language and the meaning of words evolves.
When the word blog is used by a music group and it has nothing to do with the original meaning, that’s interesting to me. Just as when our local newspaper has a column called “BizBlogs” which my eyes are always drawn to… but it has nothing to do with business blogging, or blogging: it’s just a business column given a “cool” name.
