Other Daily Apples

As I have done occasionally over the past couple of years, I took a look around to see where the Daily Apple stands in Google's lexicon, and if there are other Daily Apples on the horizon. This time, I discovered two.

I don't know how long they've been around, but I don't think they can have been in existence as long as THIS Daily Apple. But they're getting more Google-love than this here blog. And at least in the case of the first blog on the list, that extra love is well-deserved.

• Mark's Daily Apple is about health. Provides basic tips, light-hearted encouragement, etc. It's got a simple but slick design, he's got a forum you can join, it's pretty solid. Won a Bloggy award this year. Though the name of the blog would have you believe it's just one guy's blog, he's actually got three additional people writing for him.

• Your Daily Apple is a much lower-budget blog, more in my neck of the woods. It's only been around since December 2006 and is apparently about rock & roll news and miscellany that has caught the eye of the page's keeper, someone who refers to him or herself as The Daily Apple Sez.

• There's also a television program called Daily Apple TV. It's a talk show, mainly about health or other topics that seem to be targeted toward folks of retirement age. It's been on the air -- somewhere -- since September 2006.

What this means, at the very least, is that when you have a good idea, other people are bound to join in sooner or later.
