Curveblog has moved and changed its name: It is now Viva El Birdos and as part of the move joined some sort of sinister super blog collective bent on taking over the world. Luckily any plan to take over the world based on sports blogging is doomed to under achievement. So we can enjoy the blogging without feeling unpatriotic.

El Birdos now uses the Scoop engine, orginally written by Rusty for k5. It's a blogging software not really designed for bloggers. It's designed to build a community, so each member of the community can post comments, and post articles to their 'diary' which can then be commented on just like a regular story. In fact if the author is feeling lazy he can promote a diary entry up to the front page where everybody can see it. But the ability for anyone to write diary entries and have them discussed by the community at large makes scoop an ideal platform to create a community around. As much as it pains me to tell you all you should invest some time in another Cardinals blog, you should definitly try it out. But please come back.

Trivia: When we were setting up what is now the birdwatch we came very close to calling it "el birdos" but changed our mind and ended up with the birdwatch instead.
