So, the guy that is considered the brains behing Digg has started this new Blog Synication Network. I am sooooo NOT a tech wizard but...I read Andy Beard's blog about blogging tip (who I like, a lot!) and he said that it is important to be in the first wave of this thing to generate more traffic (of readers you are addressing) to your site.
I signed up for the Family & Parenting and it seems to be pretty cool so far. You are welcome to read my post and I would love to hear what you think!

I put Blogrush on my blog and can't wait to see what it does. I put my blog under "Personal Diary" b/c I don't just talk about one thing. I'm quite scatterbrained, actually.
I put it on my blog, but I'm still not sure what it is or what it does.
I have Blogrush too, I think it's helping but I'm not sure yet. They seemed to be adding a lot to the site right now so my dashboard isn't giving me a lot of info.
You have to get a lot of traffic to even see any results it seems. For each 2000 credits, I seem to get one or two hits. Not really very effective. This seems to be the consensus unless you signed up a lot of people under you.
Can the blogrush widget be posted on our cre8buzz page? I've got the spring widget, but I'd like this as well.
I don't think you can add the blogrush widget to your cre8Buzz page. But, I know that my blog has received a few new readers because of the advertising. I think one of the things that makes a difference is where you post the BlogRush widget. If you put it at the darkest end of your blog, no one is going to be able to see the updated titles of the blogs that are featured (& complimentary to your blog).
I know I have placed my BlogRush widget in a more "obvious" place on my blog. And, I have also noticed that I have "clicked" on titles that have struck my interest and I have also found a few new blogs to enjoy.
