Blogupp and Blog Onn
Posted by Thom Byxbe | Under Concept Friday Mar 7, 2008
At CITB we always on the lookout for new and innovative ideas that serve the readers of our blog at large. We think we have found one that serves not only you the reader, but also bloggers like CITB. BlogUpp! has introduced a service that can help you discover new sources of quality content.
Previous methods for adding visibility to a blog consisted mostly of static blogrolls. That means the blogger had to know of the existence of a blog and then they established a link manually. With BlogUpp! bloggers have the ability to discover and make new connections in an interactive, automated, and simplified way.
There is no registration, no account, and other than providing the link to the blog no other data is required. From the site link BlogUpp! generates a short code for the blogger to copy and paste into site blog once.
This is the result:
BlogUpp! doesn't require the blogger to submit an ad, either. It automatically takes a snapshot of the blog, and shares it on other sites. Each blog's snapshot is accompanied by the most recent article, which BlogUpp! gets by reading the blog's RSS feed. This method ensures there are no animation and annoying ads displayed to the readers.Although every blogger is invited to use the BlogUpp! service, each submitted blog passes an approval step to ensure only those with quality content are added. They do not not accept adult, gambling, and illegal or inappropriate content websites. This makes BlogUpp! a family friendly service with quality content. BlogUpp! seeks to be a simple, efficient and honest community service.
Readers and traffic are the true currency of blogs, and BlogUpp! gives it free to every blogger with quality content.
We give this service our HIGHEST recommendation, based on the concept. We will watch to see how the service grows, and will report again as it develops and matures.
