5 Reasons I Love BlogCatalog
A few weeks ago I got a message from Monawea over at the iwebis website. She mentioned a big community buzz event she was organizing for one of the social blogging networks called BlogCatalog. I’ve been really pleased with the community so I said sure. The details of the event can be found in her article titled Social Networking - BlogCatalog Buzz Experiment - Join In! So here are the 5 reasons that I love BlogCatalog:
1. Meet Other Great People To Interact With
There are two different concepts that you will find and enjoy after joining the BlogCatalog site. There are neighborhoods and friends. Friends is a concept that links you up with people or bloggers that you resonate with. These show up in your profile under a My Friends list. You can click on the pictures of your friends to go straight to their profiles. Then for each of your blogs you have a neighborhood. People can join your neighborhood if they find they have things in common with your blog or they just like it. Under each of your blog listings you will have a Neighborhood listing with all of the friends or neighbors listed there. Clicking on their avatars has the same effect as clicking on a friend. Under your profile you will also have a My Neighborhoods that lists all of the neighborhoods that you have joined. This gives you a lot of ways to network and connect with people that share your passion, whatever that maybe.
