Now that we’re a couple of weeks into the campaign, the team have started focusing on drawing support from companies and organisations involved in the blogging industry. This week we’ll be contacting everyone we can think of, but fortunately some organisations have already thrown in their support without any prompting whatsoever.

My.Opera - the 1.6million member strong Opera Browser community, Mokono - operators of Blog.co.uk, Blog.de and Blog.fr, and BlogTV Inc - who are all over South America, have all gotten behind the Blog Action Day initiative.

All three of these organisations are promoting Blog Action Day to their significant audiences. And there’s much more to come. You can keep an eye on what organisations are supporting the day by visiting our Supporting Organisations page.

During last year’s Blog Action Day, I noticed that there was a lot of small bits of news that come along like press articles, major blogs joining, related links and so on, that didn’t quite fit the bill for a full blog post. So this year we’re embracing Twitter so that we can put out lots of little messages and you can stay up to date with what’s happening.

Easton Ellsworth is running the twitter account and you can keep up to date by:
