Blog of the week is a columnett in the Business Daily that features<br>
interesting blogs as they appeared on the Net...it usually runs on<br>
Mondays (I think) and it seems not to be on the online paper.<br>
<br>
Sometime back Kachwanya of Bloggers Association was also featured. See<br>
<a href="http://www.kachwanya.com/business-daily-blog-of-the-week-kachwanya-com/" target="_blank">http://www.kachwanya.com/business-daily-blog-of-the-week-kachwanya-com/</a><br>

Seems like a collection of stories from the public domain....<br>
