Hm, my blog was apparently one of the 15,000 to make the cut. I haven’t seen any significant increase in traffic, though. It also seems to have stopped crawling my feed sometime yesterday. ooooops!

I just found topix and I like it. I have an Atlanta local events column that i syndicate for a few local papers and it would fit perfectly on the atlanta georgia events page. thanks for the info.

It will also make me stay focused on the content that particular blog is supposed to be about instead of going off on a tangent and posting something that wouldn’t fit there, or posting something personal.

I don’t understand this, are they treating blogs as news?

Thanks a lot – great info about Topix not only for wantign to be in it but for finding interesting subjects. Being rather new to blogging I’m still finding my way around this haystack.

I noticed my own blog on Topix about two weeks after I started using it to gather content. I seem to find more stories in it than I do Google News.

[...] Darren Rowse has the scoop, and he is now sitting on the front page of Topix.net! Topix.net has started crawling blogs. They announced yesterday on their Weblog that they’ve added 15,000 blogs to be crawled. This is significant news on two fronts.

Any suggestions how to get into either Google News or the Topix content?

I have tried to get my site into Google News for a while, but haven’t cracked it yet… have just suggested at Topix – wonder if I’ll have more success there?

In fact, I wonder if you have any other suggestions on useful news sites that accept submissions?

Any hints gratefully accepted (as always ;-) )

Thanks Darren
