Kick my nano?

A new website, Kick My Nano features feeds from various nanotechnology blogs (including this one). It seems to be part of a larger entity, the Canada Byte Com Series websites which is affiliated with something called, Progressive Bloggers. My haziness about the relationships between these websites is that while there are acknowledgments, the relationships are not clarified since the About pages for the ‘Kick’ and ‘Canada Byte’ sites were not operational when I checked them. I did find this essay about Progressive Bloggers on Wikipedia,

Progressive Bloggers is the name of an affiated group of Canadian bloggers who come from the centre, centre-left and left-wing of the political spectrum. Progressive Bloggers primarily maintain their own blogs, whose content is then aggregated on the main Progressive Bloggers website.

Progressive Bloggers was created in May, 2005 by Wayne Chu from the Canadian political website freethought.ca.

The essay goes on to note that as of 2009, there are over 400 blogs being aggregated through Progressive Bloggers. Thank you, it’s nice to be on an aggregator.
