We’re on Alltop.com!

The Canary Report is now listed on the online news aggragator Alltop.com! In the world of blogs, this is huge and wonderful. But it’s not just The Canary Report that’s listed in Alltop’s new Environmental Health topic, some of our flock have their blogs listed, too! “The Oko Box Blog,” “I Learned Something Today,” and “Living W/Multiple Chemical Sensitivity” are listed! And organization blogs like “MCS America” and “Enviroblog” can celebrate, too.

I’m thrilled!!

Let me tell you how this all came about.

I recently received a request from Neenz Faleafine at Alltop.com to help her develop an Environmental Health category. The request stemmed from a friend I’d made on Twitter, Burt Lum, who lives on Oahu. Burt tweeted one day about the beautiful rain on a sunny day, and I responded that not only is it beautiful but it makes rainbows! Next thing you know, Burt is visiting The Canary Report, loves it, and contacts Neenz at Alltop suggesting that we be listed.

When Neenz contacted me, she asked what category might work best for The Canary Report, and I told her that Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is an Environmental Health issue. Well, Alltop didn’t have an Environmental Health topic yet, so she asked if I would be interested in gathering together some feeds to launch the topic. I jumped at the chance! I was so excited to help develop this very important topic.

I submitted a bunch of feeds that I thought would work for Environmental Health– some did, some didn’t– and Neenz added some feeds that I had never seen before: she knows her stuff! For those of us bloggers hunting for topic inspiration, or for anyone doing the rounds to stay up-to-date on news and information about MCS and Environmental Health in general, you can’t beat this group of links on Alltop.com!

Mahalo to Burt for his matchmaking and mahalo to Neenz for putting together a great Environmental Health topic on Alltop! I really appreciate all your support not just for The Canary Report, but for all the sites promoting education and awareness about Environemntal Health. Aloha!
