Baker Street Weekend logo
You only need to follow the BSIweekend.com blog once a year, but if you want to celebrate Holmes’s birthday with an ordinarily very exclusive club, the original Baker Street Irregulars of New York City, you must follow it. It lists the activities during the celebration as well as information on travel and lodging and has information on past celebrations as well.

Baker Street Blog logoTo stay au courant with the BSI, visit the associated Baker Street Blog, “covering the intersection of popular culture and the world of Sherlock Holmes since 2005 — but where it’s always 1895. Quick, Watson! Subscribe!” There’s also the very entertaining podcast I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere.

NEW! You can also see a compendium of the blog here.

Watson blog logoBeing the reminiscences of Dr. John H. Watson, celebrated biographer of Sherlock Holmes, collected as a blog for the modern age. I appreciate someone who jumps down the rabbit hole head first. Very clever.

Sherlock Holmes Social Network logoFrom the website/blog/forum The Sherlock Holmes Social Network: “This is your network, so feel free to bring up topics of interest to you, start discussions, share media files, start your own groups, make blog posts, etc.”

Better Holmes and GardensBetter Holmes and Gardens is the blog of @goddessinsepia, also known as Jaime Mahoney, who twitters constantly and despite the blog only beginning in 2011 is already offering giveaways and prizes. How these people do this is beyond me.

SherlockFlying below my radar has been a whole host of blogs and tweets relating to the BBC’s Sherlock! It’s a wonderful conceit as this modern day Sherlock uses the Internet and social media just like the “real” Holmes used the telegraph and the agony column. Visit The Science of Deduction and follow Holmes tweets and poor Molly’s blog.

Baker Street BabesBaker Street Babes offers “a podcast by sexy fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his lovely creation, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.” You can also follow @BakerStBabes on twitter or find the podcasts at iTunes.

The Diogenes ClubFor once I’m not so far behind everyone in discovering The Diogenes Club, which among other features has a sort of sing-a-long feature, where you can comment via twitter about a Holmes episode everyone is watching at the same time via YouTube or some other service.
