IP Expert’s CCIE>Blog goes live
Posted by jrensink78 on October 21, 2008
Well, I’ve seen the “coming soon” sign on this for a while now, and it’s finally here. It looks like there are quite a few people already signing up on it. For those of you who don’t know about it yet, it’s a community site from IP Expert that is a collecting spot for CCIE related blogging. People can either start their own blogs there or include their own blogs written outside of the site. You can check it out here.
I do like the idea that there is a directory of CCIE blogs that people can check out. It makes them easier to find. They also have a ratings system to allow the user base to signify those blogs that are more helpful or useful to them. Personally, I’m looking forward to finding some new blogs that I haven’t been aware of so far.
I do wonder if that fact that this was created by a CCIE vendor will deter any bloggers that don’t use their products. Some people can get pretty attached to their vendor of choice, and subsequently avoid other vendor offerings. But I think that IP Expert has a pretty good reputation in the community. And I also think that most bloggers see the benefit of a community like this. So I sure hope we see all of the CCIE bloggers out there joining. From what I’ve seen so far, most of the blogs I read on a daily basis are already there.
