Afterbang Rated On "blogged"


Rate this Blog at Blogged

I received an email recently letting me know that afterbang has been rated on the blog directory blogged. As of now, I'm currently in the top 10 of the snowboarding category, which is cool, but then there are only 25 snowboarding blogs listed...

Obviously the directory is aimed at helping people find good blogs in subject areas that they're interested in. The success of a directory like this depends on the number of blogs listed and the quality of the ratings and reviews. I searched for blogs to do with filming; unfortunately the result was disappointing.

For the time being, it seems that the blogs listed are either rated based on an editor's review, or are unrated. At least that's the case with the 10 or so that I've looked at. The rating for this blog, afterbang, is based on an editor's review. According to the FAQs, if a blog receives enough user rating's then the average user rating will be shown along with the editor's rating. There aren't that many user reviews yet...

I'm unsure whether or not this blog directory will take off, but no doubt some people will find it useful. Maybe I'll go back there in a while and see if there are better results for filming-related blogs?

If you've got the time perhaps you'd rate afterbang? I don't know what the criteria is, but with a bit of luck I might get enough reviews to show a user rating alongside the existing one...
