BloggingZoom Will Bury Digg

Well okay the chances of that happening are about as good as a snowball's chance in the hot place. Although BloggingZoom is certainly a very viable alternative for bloggers. One thing that has always been my beef with digg is the obvious tech bent to it and it is dominated by a few very unblog like blogs. There a quite a few alternatives out there such as: Reddit, Sphinn, BumpZee, and of course BloggingZoom.

Another beef of mine with Digg is that they frown upon submitting your own content. To me this is silly. Many times I know of where a blogger has a great article they would like to get a little more exposure and being able to digg that article themselves would be a great option. I also don't see how it hurts anything. Okay so it might clog up the submissions if everyone submits their own, but they should have enough servers and bandwidth to handle that.

Well I think BloggingZoom addresses both of these things. From everything I can tell from their TOS and FAQs there is no rules against "Zoom"ing your own stuff. This is great for bloggers with a smaller audience as it gives them a chance for a bit more exposure. I do warn against submitting off topic or sub par articles. Be judicious in choosing which of your own articles to "zoom."

The BloggingZoom readers and submitters seem to be much less tech oriented and much more on blogging in general. The topics are broader than those of Digg. If you look at their popular articles you do find a good range of articles from blogs both large and small. For this I think that BloggingZoom will do well.

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E...

Are We Too Connected?

I have asked myself, and others, this question many times. It all started with the answering machine. Then we had emails, mobile phones, and now mobile phones with emails. We now have Twitter, & ppl posting constantly about their lives. It isn't that I don't see how it could benefit this blog, but simply put, quite a bit of the time I don't give a da-- that you are sitting in Starbucks reading a book. Unless of course there is some benefit to me from that information, such as you are a friend I'm meeting for coffee. Also, I really don't figure you give a da-- that I am sitting somewhere either. I understand Twitter goes beyond that, but you get the point. I use twitter, and yes I've posted that I was sitting in a Starbucks. So we have people running around with their iPhones and Crackberries worried they are missing emails, phone calls, and text messages. They are doing this while listening to music and Twittering away. With all of the social networking a...
