After rather distractedly following a link from Stephen Kinsella’s blog I came across the compellingly titled The Irish Economy. The inaugural entry posted on the 7th of December reads:
Hello
This is a new initiative that has the goal of facilitating discussion of the Irish economy. Stay tuned for postings from a highly-qualified pool of contributing economists.

My site is worth $4547.9.How much is yours worth?
Yep. That’s our worth, baby. At least, according to www.websiteoutlook.com, which tells us that Dublin Opinion could make a DAILY INCOME OF $6.23 FROM ADVERTISING ALONE!
Not a lot, you might say, but still, it’s a hell of a lot more than an American investment bank […]

There was a lot of worthy referendums out there this month, but in the end it was decided to award it to Beaufort County School because… well… read for yourself.
The goal of the referendum is to raise funds to provide […]

I was going to write a post as a reaction to yet another throw-enough-shit-at-the-wall-and-hope-some-of-it-sticks article from The Dubliner.

Does the article draw the battle lines between new media and old? Well, no, […]

A couple of weekends back we started off changing the style of Dublin Opinion and ended up crashing the entire site. It took Donagh the best part of a day to get it working again. During that time, we both sat and looked at a year’s work vanish before our very eyes, with occasional flashes […]

So many things have passed me by this week.
Firstly, within the Irish blog-o-sphere there’s the impressive news that Twenty Major has secured a two book deal with Hodder Headline Ireland. It’s only after you hear the news that it makes perfect sense and you can’t help telling yourself that it was only a matter of […]

Nothing has been said by Dublin Opinion up to now about the Irish Blog Awards Ceremony in the Alexander Hotel on Saturday.

Where has the day/year gone? There is less than an hour left to vote in the Irish Blog Awards, which is appropriate as it provides a fine end to Dublin Opinion’s first year of existence.
