Link Train Fever: A MyBlogLog Community Experiment
Apr 25th, 2007 by msdanielle
I was almost fearful when I saw that Shawn Knight came up with his new MyBlogLog link train idea, after the success of the Technorati Faves link train that Gary Lee started. But I definitely can’t complain since fortunately for me, they were both gracious enough to include me on the original lists. (Thanks, guys!)
If you have a blog, you should already know about MyBlogLog. Each author has their own hand-picked group of contacts, but also each site has its own community. So one author might have five blogs with five different communities with various members. In the same spirit of the Technorati Faves, it’s up to each reader to add themselves to the community. Enter Shawn Knight’s link train…
Here’s a screen shot of my community as of today:

I have a whopping 37 members! Thanks to everyone who’s willingly been a member of my community!
Now, for everyone else, this should be incentive to join:
***Start Copying Here:***
Here are the rules:
1) Write a short introduction about how you found this list and include a link back to that blog.
2) Copy these rules and the entire list below and post it on your blog.
3) Take “My New Community Members†and move them into the “The Original Community Members†list.
4) Find 3 new blogs, join their MyBlogLog Community and add them to the “My New Community Members†section. Remember to also add the “Join the Community†link next to your new blogs.
5) Join as a member to each Community listed here by clicking on “Join the Community.†The goal is that all of the new Members listed will join your community, and you should do the same!
