Blog Day 2006 is here.  It is a celebration of the power of blogging around the world.  The power to express our ideas and have a voice to carry them into actions.

Here are my five recommendations for new blogs to watch. Many of them are also participating so you can get more suggestions at those blogs or looking for the BlogDay2006 tag in Technorati. Here we go:

-         Simplereduce. 

o       If you like personal stories, this is definitively your blog.  In this Blog, its author Emme tells the journey she and her family are going through as she reduces her ecological footprint.  With this she is doing her bit to help keep the planet environment on balance.
This is a wonderful blog on many accounts.  Emme’s voice is passionate has has a lot of personality.  The posts are inspiring to read and useful. If you like to read about somebody who is actually living by her ideals, check Emme’s blog… her voice is so powerful that you’d believe your are experiencing the journey by yourself.  Read it from day one, it is well worth it.

-         Mexico in English

o       This is a simple idea that works wonderfully well.  On this blog, Ellen reviews and gives links to major blogs that talk about Mexico in the English language.  For every blog review she issues a post and grows the blog roll. This is a wonderful idea since most popular sites on its class are in Spanish.  The blog acts as both a bridge for understanding Mexican culture by English speakers, as well as gives voice to the many people that are related to Mexico that have English as a first language.

-         BeingBornon2006

o      Dave blogs about different topics, but his key focus is on technology.  Dave started this site to document how much the world is different for people that are coming to the world this year (as his recently born daughter).
The site talks about technology, science and trends. It also has many wonderful posts that talk about the emerging phenomenon of videos on the net. How much is technology changing our lives for us today? And for our children who are just arriving to this world?

-         EBRMx

o       One of the best citizen journalism blogs in Mexico.  Rodrigo has a focus on politics, new, videos and even off beat news from around the world.  Rodrigo has done an excellent job at following the Mexico 2006 Election.  This is a blog that is well designed, easy to read and does a fantastic job at following up on detailed information on a timely and precise manner. The blogs is in Spanish.

-         Blog It like you mean it

o       Angela does a great job for a new blogger that has been only a couple of months into blogging.  As you can see in her blog, Angela has a very special place in her heart for pets and for his family.  A voice with lots of personality that is building an excellent blog around her life experiences. Very fun to read.
