If you've been a Nerdfighter for (at least) little over a year and you're familiar with the "most interesting Twitter user to follow" (as won in the Mashable's Open Web Awards of 2009) and a Maureen Johnson book reader, you know all about BEDA. This project stands for Blog Every Day April, and the name basically explains it.
When I got back from Paris last year I heard about it, and I hopped on the bandwagon on the 2nd and although I had some difficulties coming up with something to blog about every day, I didn't miss one single date. Plus, Maureen set us all up in groups of four, which were labeled as BEDA Buddies. I'm lucky enough to have gained a very good friend with this experience, Michigan's own lovely and adorable Kim. Although she was an official BEDA buddy, I did meet some other people, including Nicola, who basically was, as she called it, an unofficial BEDA buddy.
We loved the experience so much that here we are, one year after (already?!), and we want to do it again. I'll be doing it with Nicola and her other three BEDA buddies, Becky, Christina and Autumn. We've come up with a list of themes for each day, which definitely makes it easier and so much fun! If you're interested, here it is:
