Why are most Irish bloggers from Cork? Are they actually from Cork or do they just pretend? Because of course they could be from anywhere.
This morning I visited a number of Irish blogs with a view to making some nominations to the Irish Blog Awards (to be held in Cork!) and this is how I noticed the strange phenomenon of the Cork blogging internet takeover. Here are just a few examples:
- Cork
- Cork
- Cork
- Cork
- Cork
- Cork – but can be forgiven because she’s really American
- Cork – says he’s from Sevilla, but if you look closely you’ll see he is in fact a Corkman
Is there a Cork blogging club or something – that has a secret virtual handshake and will only offer membership to bloggers that finish their sentences with ‘like’ like..?
‘Cork’ is a really funny word all on it’s own – don’t you think?

Don’t mind them. They’re just a noisey lot. We all know the true blogging county. Quality, not quantity.

Limerick is the blogging Capital as far as I can tell. Dozens of Limerick bloggers. Think they’d be happy enough taking the home of Munster rugby!
John – I hope you voted in my poll! So far there are only 2 from Cork so maybe I’m wrong afterall.
Damien – I can only find the one : http://www.limerickblogger.ie/blog/
Oh God no, you’re right:
hmmm, so far only 4 votes for Cork – I feel a Limerick coming on

I’m another Cork blogger
I just cast my vote and can see that currently Cork bloggers outnumber the others by two to one..
Very interesting – so it’s back to Cork again!
I may live in the baby belt now but I’m a Corkman too!
Well… we just got The Internet here in Sligo… but we’ll catch up!
Dave – are you actually a spammer or do you just sign yourself spam?
Heather: Sligo – that’s my home town. I left in 1984. Tell me, has it stopped raining?
The question should really have been “Are oo from Cork?”
adam
Roscommon man here, now THAT’S one county with about as much rich content as a bowl of me mam’s porridge.
Hint: Not a lot
Adam – yes it should’ve, but then what would the other have been? Something about spuds..?
Thomas – I hope you never tell your mother that. Who needs rich content in their porridge – it’s full of motherlove!
I’m from Cork too..heh, yeah I guess we’re just the creative/rambly type down here..it’s the blarney stone that’s to blame obviously…
Where does that leave me? A Limerick man living and blogging in Cork?! : )
Where does that leave you?
Em.. a Limerick man living and blogging in Cork!
