Elliott C. Back: Technology FTW!

BlogBurst ABurst

Posted in Blogging, Friends, How to Blog, Memes, Web 2.0 by Elliott Back on February 19th, 2006.

You’ve not heard of Blogburst, but it’s an exclusive resyndication service for bloggers that lets you put your content into the hands of world-famous publications like the Washington Post. Unfortunately, the service is only for select “high quality, topic-focused blogs” by invitation only, reminding me of the exclusive club of the A-lister. Thus, I redub this service ABurst, and remake their flow chart:

LOL!! THEFT!!

See, if you’re the kind of blogger they want (the famous A-listers), you already have what they’re offering you. So basically, they want you to give them your content for free. On the other hand, if you’re no on the A-list, there’s no way you’re getting in. You don’t even get past stage one. I submitted my Cornell blog to them–we’ll see if they take it or not.

Update: They seem to like my Cornell blog enough to let it into the program. Interesting. Now that they’ve also approved my personal blog, I take back the A-list comment. I don’t know if this service will eventually be useful to me or not, but I definitely appreciate being able to participate.
