The Entrecard Directory is still doing very well, thanks to all you hard core droppers.  The idea of getting a free link back by adding your info to a directory has been catching on by Entrecard users.  There have been a few emails on the question of doing a review on some of my Entrecard family blogs. As much as I would like to review all of my new blogging family, there is just to many of you to hit at one time. Here is my solution. The best way for us both to get what we want to help eachother out is for you to do a review of my blog and then I will follow through with this:

Here are the rules: 

Review my blog and I’ll link to your review. The review must be at least 200 words long and you have to include a link to the blog home page and this post. If you want to link to an other post you can do so. When you write about my site you don’t have to hold back, if you don’t like it, then write about it. I don’t care what your blog covers, I will accept all reviews.

Once the review is done, send me an email with the URL to your review. After a half dozen reviews or so, I’ll make a post with links to all the reviews.

 For the new blog with no PageRank and no backlinks, this is your chance to get some much needed exposure and receive a linkback from a blog that is ranked 228,00 on Technorati.

Best Review Wins $50

To give you a little incentive to write high quality content, I’m offering $50 that will go directly in to your PayPal account. 

I’m looking forward to reading the reviews.

A big thing that has hit the internet is the formation of communities of like minded people who find one another online and talk to each other every day about one specific topic.

Before this came about there was message boards called Usenet Newsgroups. When you came to this site you would talk about a wide range of discussions. Everyone could come and if you wanted to have private conversations then it could be arranged.

If you wanted to talk with someone moderating it, then you could. Someone would be in charge of screening the people who came in and if they didn’t like the people, they would see them out the door. As you went to a specific place you would eventually know the rules and most of the people would know you.

Going to one that didn’t have anyone watching over you was kind of a self governing site. You could go off on people and have a battle right there on the screen. Most of the time the talk did not come to a all out war.

Then you have a community based merely on emailing back and fourth, and on blogs, like this one. As I have come to know people this has made me part of a family of bloggers and now we can talk about the growth of the online community.

Some people remeber how this thing got started, some, lol. The military started it to make sure that they could talk to eachother during a war. Thanks for thinking of Randy during that process.

The community in a blog is moderated or not moderated determining on if the author approves his comments. He can delete ones that are spam or delete them for being in bad taste.
