Kim and Jason Kotecki sent me an email letting me know about their new Experiential blog and I thought I'd take time to out it, since it's so new and all. Of course, if you have a blog you think we need to know about, I'd love to see it. robyn*at*sleepyblogger.com

An experiential blog (or xblog) is a blog that inspires active participation in events or activities, leading to the accumulation of knowledge or skill. You might think of it as a community self-help or how-to blog.

It's different than other blogs because it invites active involvement from the reader in the experience, beyond just responding to what the author has written.

An experiential blog contains the following elements:

1. It has a finite number of posts, each of which constitute a specific step towards a stated goal.
2. Community is created by readers (voyagers) who share comments on their experiences.
3. It is written by an individual or team of sherpas, who lead the experience and guide voyagers in the journey.

It's pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I'd love to see a 30-day mealplan set up here with user comments, recipes, links to coupons, etc. Very cool idea.
