What is a “real-time Carnival” and how does it differ from the usual type of blog carnival?
The Carnival of Brass differs from traditional carnivals (like the Carnival of Islam in the West or Nomad Fatwas, both excellent in their own right) in two important ways. First, to submit a link, you don’t send an email with the URL, but rather you simply “tag” it. This requires that you sign up for a free account at del.icio.us and add me, user azizhp, to your “network”. Second, to see the links, you don’t visit the host website, but instead have a sidebar on your own blog. This means that the Carnival acts like dynamic news headlines, continually updated in real-time. You can even subscribe to it using an RSS reader like Bloglines or in your email client.
