Andy,

This meme is a great idea. It invites all of us to reward the smart blogs that we read and help them gain new readers. It also allows us to introduce our readers to some great new content and thinking.

Much like the z-list meme, your idea will work because it is not about us, it’s about us putting the spotlight and offering accolades to people who have already given us value.

Thanks for thinking of it!

Drew

One of the reasons I started this meme is to bring the highest quality content and best communities to the foreground.

Today I have already subscribed to more than 20 blogs that I have found due to personal recommendations from my neighbours and readers.

Promoting the MBL community, I like it. I do factor in those bloggers part of the community when I’m looking to join or add a contact. Whereas many view MBL as popularity, I view it as quality. I’m sure I’m in the minority on that, but I want to be in quality communities … not just the ones with hundreds of members. And your on to it … the new game is inventing the game. Glad I found your work. Thanks.

It has been a while… well for those that are brand aware, make sure you set your community name

Hi Andy, thanks for starting this. FYI, all communities start out with that number code. Authors can change it to a “nickname” which we geekily call a URL Display Name on the Settings page. You must have done yours so long ago you forgot. :)
