The world's first Brother Sister Blog Team?

March 7, 2006 1:56 PM

Are my sister and I the world's first "Brother Sister Blog Team" or has it been done before? Personally, I haven't been able to find any.

My sister and I are starting a topical blog in the next week or so. Do you any of you know of other sibling blog teams, or do we get bragging rights of some kind?

By the way, this blog has nothing to do with being brother and sister, nor our personal lives.

Well, my brother Fat Guy and I shared a blog for six months or so. That means you are not the first siblings to blog.

Several brothers and sisters are among the primary contributors to 3Quarks Daily

I don't know. Why don't you give us a link to your blog so that all of us on PepsiBlueFilter can decide?

Henry and Maria at Crooked Timber are siblings.

Perhaps you could be the first Upside-down Brother-Sister Bloggin Team with 20% more blogosamine?

You probably could have called a "first" if not for this. There are a ton of blogs out there used by families.

Just because it's not true doesn't mean you can't claim it. While you're lying though, you might as well claim to be the first bloggers ever. Historians of the future won't know the difference.

Most likely not.

PepsiBlueFilter: Am I the first two-column, duelling-writers blog out there?

I really haven't seen any others. And this definitely isn't worth its own question when travo has so brilliantly set me up.

Even if you were the first, who could possibly care or consider that an achievement?

Cameron Barrett [camworld] was blogging back in the 1990s; eventually his twin Damien got a blog as well, though they never blogged long-term on the same site, really. But this might be one of the first sibling blog co-posts EVAR.

I don't think it's so much an achievement as a gimmick, Mo.

mad judge pickles: The blog isn't live, yet. I've been a little lazy in the design area.

Thanks for the links, and suggestions. Whether true or not, I think it should be a useful gimmick. That is, until one of our friends pesters us to become a poster.

No. Amongst others, Choire Sicha and... the other guy whose name I forget... did that years back. The site has long since gone bye-bye, I think.

Make me wonder if I have the first podcast by a guy and his cat? www.almostliveradio.com
