Been watching too much Olympics coverage (nothing to do with Amateur competitions as opposed to PROblogger activities) that I, too missed the link love but has started adding persons to my network so the closed post has been pretty useful just the same.

Best.

Anyone wishing to get a piece of this action, albeit on a smaller scale, are welcome to pop over and add their link to my post on the Japan_Blogs account on Twitter, you might just be surprised.

I second the question from someone above – what to do now with all our new “love”? How do we turn this into more readers?

Should we add EVERYONE? Or only those that look interesting to us?

Thanks,
Kelly

If we do, it won’t be for a while, gang… this is a LOT of work. I’m sure Darren will post and let you guys know if and when another Love In happens.

I missed the boat, too! Hope you can have another one of this for us who weren't able to join. Anyway, I am a fairly new Twitter user, I am hoping you guys could follow me HERE. Of course I will follow you, too!

Man have I missed the boat on The Social Sites networking! What’s new though! LOL

Okay gang – The 24 hour thing was from the time the post went live on the site to the time I closed the comments.

What I think you guys are failing to take advantage of here is the list in and of itself. Who says you have to be ON the list in order to take advantage of the nearly 700 who are? Take the initiative and go start adding those people, rather than sit back and prefer to have people adding you.

I’m not sure if Darren’s going to open it up again or not (or when, for that matter), but the bottom line is that rather than complaining, why don’t you just take action how you can? I’m still working on lists and we’ll be releasing them as soon as they’re done, so just start adding people, people!

Argh, have missed ‘the boat’! Is there any chance that the list will be extended?

Oh fooey, I missed all the love, I was late reading the RSS feeds. Question, what do you guys get out of all the love you are spreading around ?

Im a new blogger, and a few people visit, I know many on social networking sites, but people dont comment.

I guess I should start my posts with a question and see if that works.

I have the probloggers book and it has really helped

thanks

It sure was frustrating to be on a secured system when the offer was open…couldn’t post. Problogger is flagged as “suspicious” so just came to see how things went–looking forward to seeing the results and hopefully I can jump in next time!

I spent all that time getting the email ready only to hit submit and the message said it was closed.

That was 1:30 pm Las Vegas, Nevada time (pacific time zone).

When I look at the time I got the newsletter and the date/time on the post about this to the time I tried to submit, it was not 24 hours.

Are you going to do another?

That’s great. I’m looking forward to your phase 2 article.

@ Chris Guthrie – I’m not sure what you mean… Once I closed the comments on that post it was pretty clear that we weren’t accepting more comments on that post, and I added an “update” at the end of it, and an update to this one.

I realize that it’s frustrating that we only had it open for 24 hours, but the point of my spending the time to create the categorized lists after the fact is so that everyone, including the people who missed out on listing their links, can click through and add others in as easy and simplified a way as we could possibly make it.

This was a cool idea. Looking forward to the list.

Darren, I have been doing alot of link love recently..

For a month I am deciding to give free reviews to my readers blog.

http://www.balkhis.com/random-blurbs/balkhis-reader-love-continues-get-your-blog-reviewed-for-free/

Once or twice a week, I will be reviewing my readers.

Free text links are also being given away to people who ask me questions.

Yes the post is closed. Darren -> can I offer one suggestion?

Change the image on your blog to say comments closed when your comments are closed :(

I thought I still had a chance.
