I’ve been part of a community of folks using The Good Blogs for the last couple of months. It’s a blog discovery widget that shows you the latest posts from a community of users. The concept is pretty simple: join The Good Blogs, and cross promote your blog and other people’s blogs in your community. Not quite the same as a blogroll, but perhaps more useful since it enables discovery of relevant new feeds that you might not have known about before.
Today The Good Blogs is out of private beta. You can see it in action over on the right hand side of my blog. If it thrills you, you can head over to The Good Blogs and join the public beta.Â
Congrats to Vernon and Tony and the rest of the Good Blogs team. The Good Blogs is a slick and useful widget. Â
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
