“feel free to invite others to this room - as long as they are bloggers and/or are interested in the ProBlogger type topic I'm happy for anyone and everyone to join. I've invited all my contacts on FF. Pity there's no list of public groups for people to join.â€Whilst there isn't a public list, in many ways Google with a site search query these days provides a very real alternative.

Open Web Awards 2007 – Winners
The Winners of the Open Web Awards have been announced.
Due to my moving and connectivity problems I wasn't able to promote the voting phases but I did vote on the judges choice awards - it is interesting how voting differed between the two.
Social Power Linking Now Only $29.95
Back in August I reviewed Jack's Social Power Linking Home Study Course which he created with Peter Lenkefi
I claim it as a review, even though I hadn't actually seen the product. I had one major problem with it which wouldn't have worried many of my readers, but was a significant problem for me - it was a physical product.

Open Web Awards – Call for Nominations
The Open Web Awards are now open for nominations until the 6th December, and this stage of the proceeding is quite open plan.
The current 28 blogging partners (increasing daily) have been provided with a list of categories to accept nominations for, and it is down to each blog to decide how to proceed with collecting nominations, whether to make individual posts for each category, or to handle things from a single post.
Voting will take place in a much more refined manner.

Open Web Awards
In the past I have praised Mashable for being open-minded in their reporting of Web 2.0 News, and whilst they do dabble in provocative titles once in a while, coverage is unbiased.
That is why I was pleased to accept playing a role in both promoting and judging their Open Web Awards, though full details are not yet available of exactly what that will entail.

Blogrush – Free Blog Traffic – In depth Review
Blogrush has just launched and is promising to help bloggers generate more targeted traffic to their blogs.
Blog bling, blog community and blog traffic widgets are becoming quite a conjested marketplace, so what makes Blogrush, the newest contender something to take note of?
John Reese
I have a lot of respect for John Reese. People talk about The Digg effect, John Reese can send Digg like traffic to a site just by sending an email, and what is more important is that he sends qualified traffic, buying traffic.
Funding
I am fairly sure Blogrush won't have any need for immediate funding. They have launched

Facebook Marketing
I spend a fair amount each day on Facebook these days, and in part there are 2 people to blame, Sherman Hu and Tinu Abayomi-Paul.
Sherman has launched an excellent Beginners Guide To Mastering Web Basics group on Facebook
Unlike most Facebook groups, Sherman has already uploaded some real juicy video content.

Social Power Linking Review
There is only one small detail that prevents me from immediately whipping out my credit card in the next 30 seconds and buying Social Power Linking, but for many people that small detail is actually the primary reason they would make a purchase.
Its Not The Quality Of The Product
I have experienced some of Jacks training in the past, and it is always phenomenal, he gives so much valuable information and presents it in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. I have absolutely no doubt that Social Power Linking will be no exception to the rule.
It Is Not

Web 2.0 Website Promotion
Michelle Macphearson just released her Web 2.0 Traffic Generation Blueprint
I got to skim through this a couple of days ago and need to read it again in more depth and do a lot of planning.
It is free, and well worth downloading.
It is totally different to Stampede Secrets which I reviewed a few months back, or the Authority Black Book which I haven't reviewed, but I am sure many people have read anyway.
