Blogburst is a content syndication service that is getting some major discussion today. Passion is the key in the discussion. Very few people are straddling the fence. In fact, it seems you either HATE or LOVE the idea.
Several bloggers are talking on BlogBurst today including:
Let’s take this time to get a pulse of the blogosphere on this topic AND test the various blogsearches’ results for relevancy.

Robyn, so far I would say the results for KMM authors with BlogBurst have been quietly positive. We haven’t seen any big jumps in traffic to the blogs that we have enrolled in BlogBurst (which is about five or ten at the moment, I think), but we have noticed a few extra hits here and there. I think as BlogBurst expands its newspaper/website base, we’ll start seeing more of that traffic come in.
Interesting. I think that if you are blogging for recognition (ie marketing and pr bloggers) or if you want to set yourself up as an expert (ie want to be a consultant in some industry or an author, etc) that this is just what the doctor ordered.
I don’t know though, seems like they could offer some sort of renumeration. That’s the main fly in the ointment for me…
I just received an invite to participate in BlogBurst — I’m going to read the fine print though I tend to agree with Robyn’s comment.
Dennis, I haven’t had time to follow up on this until now… did you say yes?
