Dylan, here’s your first response (I hope).
Planets are great ways to form blog communities and educate both the authors and third-party readers. I love reading Planets because I see things I already knew I’d be interested in, mixed together with things I had no idea I’d care about before I saw them.
They’re fantastic tools for growing closer as a community, for increasing potential and actual collaborations and for broadcasting current and future work and plans.
