GreenOptions: a blog network for everyone

By Hank Green Posted Tue Feb 26, 2008 2:10pm PST


You may not have noticed, but I certainly have, that the environmental blogosphere is growing extremely quickly. What was a couple dozen blogs just last year, has quickly become a couple thousand.

This is, of course, fantastic. The more people we have covering these stories, the better situated the whole world will be to understand the issues that we face and tackle them with greatest efficacy.

While EcoGeek is never going to be able to highlight every one of those blogs, we are happy to have expanded ourselves into a blog network and to have good company in the environmental space.

GreenOptions, like EcoGeek, was once an independent blog, and has branched into a network along with us, already providing over a dozen blogs under its umbrella.

They're covering everything from global news to arts and crafts. And, yes, they have an ecogeeky offering as well.

Blog networks allow writers to focus on writing, while marketing, technical development, and monetization can be handled by a team that would be completely unsupportable by individual blogs.

GreenOptions has done a wonderful job of expanding itself into a huge variety of niches.

As of right now, I think that my favorite GreenOptions blogs remain Green Building Elements and SustainaBlog, but there are gems throughout the network. You can find all of their blogs in their top bar, which lives on every page in their network.
