BlogBurst ABurst
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:
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.
