Blogging and Beijing

I don’t watch much television but I really enjoy the Olympics! Okay, yeah…enough with the beach volleyball. It’s good but come on. And yes, some of the up close and personal features are way overboard, but the competitions themselves are facinating and often inspiring . I joined the local YMCA after the 2004 Olympics because I got so intrigued with the swimming events, and while Michael Phelps probably wouldn’t be impressed, I can do “the turn” and trust me, it’s cool.

Work and TV schedules often interfere with my Olympic intake so I turn to the blogosphere for help.

Some BlogBurst bloggers have provided some amazing coverage:

The Olympics

Fourth-Place Medal, Yahoo! Sports Olympics blog

I also found an article listing some of the olympic athlete’s blogs. Anybody know of any others?

Some nice words about Blogburst

Howdy folks-

Looks like we got a nice write-up about Blogburst from impNERD.  It is always nice to be appreciated, and in particular I truly think that the piece places the correct emphasis on the value of Blogburst.

Indirectly, the SEO value is amazing. The more eyes that view a post the better. If your post is picked up, you have the potential of tens-of-thousands of eye balls glaring at your post. A few of them might own blogs. They might also click-through to your website and link to it.

The true objective of Blogburst is to get exposure for the everyday blogger. There are certainly some nice knock-on effects, and it never hurts to get some extra quarterly cash if you’re a top performer in our system, but the core purpose for Blogburst is to get a blogger out in front of as many people as possible.

Having this purpose recognized, and reinforced, is a pleasant event. Furthermore, we are always looking for new publishing partners and methods with which we can syndicate and distribute the content within Blogburst - content that we believe to be of high quality, and worthy of distribution.

Kudos to impNERD!
