Well, here we are, officially 5 years later.
I've already blogged my personal memories of 9/11 (as part of blogger John's Weekend Assignment -- see his great followup entry, where he highlights some of your responses -- also see Editor Jeff's memories, which he just blogged), so here's a little bit about what else is going on in the blogosphere and on the Web:
* As I've mentioned several times before, the 2,996 Project is dedicated to honoring the memory of each of the 2,996 victims of the attacks, by having a volunteer blogger write a memorial entry about each person. (I know a bunch of AOL Journalers are participating, some of whom I highlighted in my previous entry.)
It looks like the 2,996 Project web site can't handle the traffic right now -- you can see the Google cache of the participants list; if you're a participating blogger, you might also want to add the Technorati tag 2996 project to your entry, so that people can have another way to find it and the other tribute entries.
* Lots of folks have said that 9/11 was the watershed moment that really showed the value of blogs and other online social media. Recent examples include Wired News: "9/11: Birth of the Blog", and Poynter's "Sept. 11, 2001 -- The Day the Web Grew Up."
The Poynter article also has a lot of great links to 9/11 resources, including:
* Watching America features translations of foreign news articles from all over the world; today's includes editorials and commentary remembering 9/11. It's sometimes eye-opening to see how differently the news media in other countries looks at things, and today is no exception.
* Also, I wasn't sure if I was going to do this, but all morning, I've been dipping in and out of CNN's replay of their realtime video coverage from 9/11. It really brings back the confusion of the day.
* Again, to find your own content on 9/11 on blog search engines, try Technorati, AOL Journals, Feedster and Sphere.
Don't forget, if you want to do something positive today in memory of the victims of 9/11, check out Network for Good and make a pledge to help via MyGoodDeed.org (see the MyGoodDeed.org profiles on AIM Pages and MySpace).
In the blogosphere, your voice can be just as valuable as anyone else's, so join the conversation -- whether you're leaving a comment, or sharing your own "where were you" memories, or posting in your own blog.
Thanks -- Joe

9/11 Remembrances on the Web
