Google Blogoscoped covers Google and the tech world, more or less daily since 2003. To help out post your news tips in the forum or email them to me, Philipp Lenssen, info@blogoscoped.com; you can also contact me to discuss how you can get involved with writing articles. Google Blogoscoped has become a true community effort over time through the participation of many, many people.

The blog and the forum cover new Google product releases, contain tutorials and tips, information on Google censorship methods, and 20% random weirdness (the blog also spawned a book). Google is the focus here because the company and its tools have a growing impact on people's life – for better or worse. The Google search engine serves as a pair of eyes in a virtual world, and I think we'd all like a clear view.

This blog is a Google News source. Mark Draughn of Windypundit.com once called it "One of the most interesting technical sites on the web," and Vittorio Del Percio from Lugano, Switzerland, said it's "... the first source of info I check daily in the morning when I arrive at my desk in the office."

About me: I'm from Germany, currently living in China, and I'm doing this blog and my other sites & related projects full-time (before that, I worked as web developer for several years). I like to do a bit of everything, from drawing to programming, writing to trying to play around with music, and I'm always interested in the intersections among those areas. Some sites I started:

Games for the Brain: Dozens of easy to understand but challenging games.
Cover Browser: Explore 450,000+ of covers of comics, books, magazines and more.
Bomomo: ... give it a try (co-created with Nikolai Kordulla).
Sketch Swap: You draw an image to get another random image back (co-created with Dominik Schmid).
Blogoscoped Shop: Shirts, mugs, posters and more.

... and you can find more sites as well as games, design & game music samples on my homepage. Thanks go out to Arne Trautman for his legal advice for many of my sites!
