The power of the BlogCatalog Buzz
According to their web site, “Blog Catalog is the premiere blog directory on the internet”. Quite a boast you might think, but BlogCatalog are certainly creating a buzz in the social networking circle.
I realized some time ago the benefits of using social networking sites like BlogCatalog, and am beginning to understand the best advertisement for your blog could be word-of-mouth.
The main reason for this post is to create a huge tidal wave of information about BlogCatalog, and was the brainchild of fellow BC’er, monawea of iwebis fame. You can read more about the BlogCatalog Buzz Experiment here. I’m hoping this type of promotion will provide some exposure to my site and generate a little extra traffic and some regular readers.
The main things I like about BlogCatalog are it’s ease of use, the fantastic community spirit, the discussion area and the widgets you can add to your blog. The folks who run BlogCatalog are also keen to improve the way things are run and will listen to your ideas/comments. For example, I wanted to submit my site to the Sports category, but no suitable sub-category existed. One quick email to the support group and a brand new Running category was added. How’s that for service?
Feel free to check out my profile and/or my blog detail page. Don’t forget to leave me a comment if you have any questions/observations.

Thanks for the comment Tara, and thanks for writing about Spotplex on the weekend.
I’m experimenting with a Spotplex widget in my sidebar at the moment actually. Seems like a(nother) great blogging service.

I want to be accepted into this network, but I keep getting rejected. Not sure why either as I don’t have a splog. Their appeal process is mysterious too.
