There are now over 160 blog networks on the list.
Have you started your own blog network yet? Webby Media explains how to start your own in this post.
Drafting Posts: Just blog away and submit? Or draft and edit the blog several times before posting. Blogspotting finds a blogger who uses multiple drafts.
One Red Paperclip. A blogger is using his blog to trade a paperclip for bigger and better things -- eventually the blogger hopes to trade for a house.
Blogging Friends: Josh Hallett explains his friends folder in NetNewsWire
Good writing becomes a corporate blog most. Good writing is important says Corante's Dana Blankenhorn. "This is part of what's wrong with corporate blogging. Whether it's an executive blog, a publisher blog, or a product blog, it's just too predictable. The writing is often so strait-jacketed (in order to make it replicable and corporate-approved) that the life is knocked out of it."
Chitikasphere: Many bloggers are now bummed at Chitika. You can probably remember which bloggers were the ones encouraging everyone to use it the first place -- most of them were also affiliates of Chitika. For example, one blogger claims to have hit the Chitika referall jackpot -- this blogger has made more in referral commissions than from the main Chitika program. Some bloggers are now talking about
removing Chitika according to Jensense after Chitika removed "curiosity clicks." However, there are still many users and there are even blogs and websites dedicated to Chitika like Chitika
News and Chitika tips. Want more Chitika info? Read an interview with the CEO.
Micropersuasion.com asks
do blog readers ignore delicious roundups? If they have some
original text with them they are probably at least skimmed especially
if it is on a blog that has other good content like Micropersuasion.com does. But they are not likely to be read nearly as much as a blog's regular posts.
I Like to Vent vents about plagiarism in the blogosphere and
the theft of TipMonkeys content:
"This company has been reposting articles from TipMonkies for the
past several days...since Friday in fact. Now I don't care if someone
paraphrases an article, or quote it, or use it as a source for their
own article, but when you repost and entire article without (A) using
the name of the original author in the post, (B) not linking to the
original source, and (C) not abiding by the license used to publish
the information, THAT is not only wrong, it is stealing"
Bloggers are getting fed up with the scraper stealers out there.
I Like to Vent also an interesting encryption idea for feeds in the
same post.
Chris Anderson, at The Long Tail, blogs about the 150 RSS feeds he subscribes to. Shouldn't the author of the Long Tail website subscribe to all the feeds? 150 is a pretty short tail.
