MyBlogLog - Building a Community of Neighbors

Andy sent out the first list. Then Drew passed it.. Mike added to it (or was it Mike passed it and Drew added to it?) Either way, Patrick passed it to me. That part I'm sure about.


I'm talking about MyBlogLog -- one of the fastest growing sites for building and measuring community in the blogosphere. Here's a way to get to know more bloggers in your community.

As Mike says:

The rules are simple:
1. You should be a member of the community you recommend.
2. You should subscribe to their feed.


Here is the list of sites in a community. I've added their feeds and community to my lists. And highlighted two from my community: Anita Campbell at Small Business Marketing and Ron McDaniel at Buzzoodle.

As I check the preview, I realize the blogspot software I have doesn't make this list look as neat and tidy when I copied it from the other blogs...

Thanks for taking part, I think next time I do something like this I will write up something in PHP to help people generate some nice code to pass on.

Thanks, Chris for moving the meme along. Great way to meet new folks like you. Your site's full of great info.

Andy & Robyn:
I like the MyBlogLog meme because it is so different. I've been a member of MyBlogLog since November, but haven't spent as much time using it, getting to know the community as I wanted to. Getting this meme and passing it along was good timing and a way for me to get more familiar with this tool.
Thanks!
Chris

Thanks for adding my blog, Chris. I have found many really awesome blogs on MyBlogLog--like yours. Amazing.

Chris, I really like MyBlogLog, but at first it captivated me and I had to limit myself. :-)

Thanks Chris, I never did get around to this meme since I'm still covering one of the last ones at my blog. I don't know how well this spread but thanks for memetic copying.
