Days of Belgrade have just started and one of the features is a new website covering Belgrade – Belgrade Blog.
Since Belgrade 2.0 is also known in some places as Belgrade Blog i’m sure there’s going to be some confusion at first, but every competition is good, right.
So far the best feature of the site and the whole festival is the photo section they have there and how the photos were made – the organizers gave those cheap plastic photo cameras to tourists for them to take pictures of Belgrade and then the best photos were displayed both at the Republic Square and on the site.
Rest of the info on the site is pretty modest so far – mostly general information about Belgrade. Hopefully this won’t be a one-hit wonder, ie i hope that there will be a good tourist guide to Belgrade some day on that page – it has all the potential for such a thing.
One other interesting idea is that tourists can come by in a booth set up at the Republic square and send their impressions about Belgrade directly to the site.
So, what are you waiting for – go and leave some Belgrade impressions and tips you might have so that those coming after you will have even better time in Beograd!

It seems like a bit of a misnomer doesn’t it? I don’t see much of a “blog” there at all. It’s more like a traditional web site.
And you guys are too kind: These guys need to be crushed into the dirt. There’s only room on the interweb for one Belgrade Blog, and that’s you guys.
Right well I’ve consulted my lawyer and he says according to Serbian law we have the right to the name of Belgrade Blog.
The problem is that a certain law on intellectual property hasnt been passed yet so I havent been able to get the injunction necessary to close his site down.
Oh yes, this is a joke by the way…
Michael, yeah, it seems that the term ‘blog’ is actually very trendy these days, and people are ready to use it even if the site isn’t really… a blog. Still, if there were hundreds of sites about Belgrade than i would probably be mad that someone is trying to be a copycat. This way, we need all the competition we can get, to become better – with only about four sites covering Belgrade it’s not so hard being the best (modest, am i?).
I haven’t consulted Bganon, Cvijus, Nemanja before writing the title, so if the rest of the crew wants to crush belgradeblog.com, i will correct it from ‘we’ to ‘I’
Bganon, i liked your post better before reading the disclaimer at the end, maybe the guys over there at belgradeblog would have fallen for it
