Blogg-Buzz is invite only to prevent non-bloggers from joining. But don’t worry we accept all bloggers, just let us know the blogs you own :)

PS: the invite from Blogg-Buzz just came through – six minutes is nothing to wait for a personal vet :)

I like it, thanks for the link :)

Cheers, Andrew

Hi Darren,

just in case anyone else goes and is a bit disappointed: Blogg-Buzz looks to be invite-only – that said, you can apply for membership via the contact form.

Now THAt said, I am not sure that they get the “social” part of “social computing” :) Do you know if there is a reason that they are doing this? The wisdom of the crowds punishes people who over-self-promote on Digg, so I am not sure that they have to worry about that? Could be wrong, maybe they are just being cautious because it is low-volume yet and they don’t want their polls to be skewed by the overly-zealous.

Cheers, Andrew

Google has a history of buying applications and making them available for free. (eg: The blogger.com paid version.) So they may make the advanced Feedburner features free after sometime too.

Hopefully Google will keep the Feedburner support team in place. And maybe – learn a thing or two from them and improve their adsense-adwords support too.

My biggest problem with Google is that even for a 5 figure blogger like me they're impossible to communicate with quickly when you want to ask a question or tell them about a problem So I hope Google leaves Feedburners customer support team alone and they don't turn into a secretive bunch of people like the rest of Google
