No Sponsors Yet, Just Supporters (readers; aka “You”)

By Steve Poland • February 23, 2007

Send me an email with your blog’s URL or company’s URL along with your first name [and/or last], what city/state/country you’re in, and what your company does — or your blog is about — or what you’re passionate about. I’ll throw together a post with a one-liner on everyone that responds to me.

I’d love to see more comments/threads going on in each idea — don’t hold back if you feel you have a comment on something.

Without you as a reader and participant in comments of posts, I wouldn’t have the motivation to write this blog. So, Thank you.

IDEA #25 - Blogroll Advertising Network Is there an AdSense network for the blog post world? Meaning, I imagine a network that I add my RSS feed to — and in return, download a widget, which I put on my blog...

Michael Wales from Vandenberg AFB, CA.

http://www.michaelwales.com/ is primarily about military/programming stuff.

http://www.betaflow.com/ used to be web 2.0 but has been down since I went to Kuwait last year.

http://www.gibthis.com/ is in the work as a gaming-related video/social network.

I’m most famous for wowcensus.com - a mesh of desktop application and web-based parsing to generate in-game demographics for World of Warcraft. This was sold to IGE April of last year.

Sent the necessaries.

If you want people to comment on your blog more that read it, this is a good way to kick start the process. Thanks for the invitation as well.

Forgive me Steve. I wasn’t able to do it in only one line! Not an encyclopedia, though, don’t worry.

Great call to action. Going to have to remember that for our site.
