I've been meaning to write about my new position as Community Manager at UserVoice, but there's simply been so many exciting projects to do I haven't had a chance.
One of those projects has been evaluating the possibility of starting a UserVoice developer blog to supplement the existing UserVoice blog. Not being a developer, I decided to do a little comparison of some developer blogs to see if there were any trends. As I asked folks for suggestions on Twitter, I figured I'd pay it forward and post the results here.
