Wow - BlogRush 2.0

Well I know they are trying to put out a good product...but they really do think their shit don't stink...

In a recent email sent to the list, buried somewhere in the middle here are the words of wisdom:

"It will now be a PRIVILEGE for a blog to be accepted into our network."

So a few at BR are going to determine what is just good enough for us to view.

Like they know.

BolgRush Can Kiss My Ass!

Well, my ex-internet marketing guru hero John Reese decides my fledgling blogs are not good enough for his "network". Granted, they are a work in progress but the blogs are certainly not going to hurt any one, have any hate speech, porn or online scam in them. They might add value - who knows - let the market decide. I just haven't had the time to fully develop them as I would have liked.

John Reese, owner of income.com and generally known around the Internet as one of the "good guys", has clamped down on the network after BlogRush was being scammed. So, now John and his gang have turned into Big Brother and have decided the little people can't play in his sandbox. This is brilliant John. You, if anyone, preach we all got to start somewhere - that every blog gets it's first post, every website their first visitor, yada, yada. Except at BlogRush.

I understand that BlogRush wants to have a network of content rich, inter-linked blogs providing everyone with a rich blog experience. Sounds like something out of Google's webmaster guidelines. We all can't blog and develop our blogs 24/7 so they are just the coolest thing going. Sorry, John, that's the real world.

But hey, it's your network and your rules. Fine.

But don't send a rejection letter after you deem my blog not worthy to serve in your network by saying things like: "Don't take this personally"...

****Jesus, dumb-ass, what do you think blogs are?****

And after you tell someone their stuff ain't good enough for you, don't put some jibberish at the bottom and tell us that if we feel our blogs have gotten any better, contact BlogRush in a month so your staff can go over it one more time. Like we have time and need to chase your silly-ass network around.

No thanks, I'll stick with Jack Humphrey and Power Linking anytime.
