The Lives of Others

Question :When is a new blog on the block not a new blog on the block?

Answer : When it’s one that was launched by Rick O’Shea with no fanfare back in March that he’s just let the world know about. It’s called The Lives of Others.

The first line of the launch post says :

This is a unique project, at least that is what We / I believe

It’s all rather intriguing and mysterious and quite a brilliant idea really. Presumably there are some well read bloggers already blogging there and this makes it more compelling because you are reading it and wondering “who could that be”.

So it will be on my reading list now and I reckon it’s one of those projects that will capture the imagination now that the word is out. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it in book format at some point like the Post Secret project.

I wonder is Rick any good at coming up with snappy tag lines for websites, because he seems to be good at coming up with ideas for blogs. I’ve a project I’m working on at the moment and I can’t think of a catchy tag line. Maybe I’ll blog about and see if I get any suggestions.
