BlogRush the next one?
Tuesday, 18 September 2007
Digg!

   blogrush-logo.pngWell, the latest buzz on the street is about BlogRush – a blog widget that promises to drive relevant traffic to your web site for free...or so the story goes.  

Now am not generally the ‘latest Gizmo’ proponent …. Much more of a pessimistic ranter to be honest – so why am I being trendy writing about it you ask? Because I am still pessimistic of course. The last time around it was the mighty Yahoo offering MyBlogLog that garnered the interest of the blog marketing world and well…. It really never went anywhere. In reality the true value of many Social Media Marketing and Blog Marketing type systems is still more than a little unclear to me on the larger scale.

Sure, there are a bunch of high traffic sites/bloggers that will benefit, but how it will translate to the ‘average Joe’ remains to be seen.  Does anyone remember MyBlogLog, Squido, LinkedIn, Technorati? I even hear that MySPace is dying a slow death ( can U say FaceBook? ). Is it just me or is it all just finicky fads that are a bunch of moving targets for any sane marketer? 

I am sure there are some folks getting reasonable return on their time invested in these sites, but I dare say it is not the greater majority benefiting on a constant ongoing basis and showing a ROI on the efforts. 

Anyways, I shall keep playing along to see where it leads… Here’s some info to get you going if yer not already in the swing with the latest fads kidz – just because I don't have great faith, don't mean I ain't gonna share with ya'll;
