Blog Catalog: A Catalog Indeed

Google can be really helpful. When I looked for guides for blogging beginners, several write-ups pop out.  Different bloggers have different suggestions. Amazingly, one advice really stood out--that is, join a blogging society.


I tried a few but I'm pretty amazed with the format of Blog Catalog (http://www.blogcatalog.com).

The cool widget on Mac's dashboard define catalog as:

-a complete list of items, typically one in alphabetical or other systematic order, in particular

In short, a catalog is a systematic complete list of something.

True that, members' blogs are arranged by topic such as entertainment, fashion, pets, sports and etc.



Aside from the stunning number of exciting blogs and friendly users, what I really love about this society are:

• Members can communicate to each other--like real persons. There is a discussion tab where any member can start a conversation or discussion. Topics can be as witty as "artists as insane persons"; as casual as "what's on your mind today"; and as serious as "equality and freedom".
• Members can follow each other. It is like twitter with more content.
• It also have a read tab. Members can read each other's blog without going directly to their site. Isn't it convenient? (Though the down side is they might not be counted in the viewer traffic--KIDDING!)
