Yes, I have jumped on the Blog Explosion bandwagon, and I…can’t…stop…clicking. Help…me…
If you already spend far too many hours each day browsing blogs, “link slutting,” and updating your own blog; you will hate Blog Explosion—you will hate it in much the same way that I hate Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake ice cream (of which I have not had a single pint in about seventeen weeks).
After signing up, you earn “credits” for visiting the blogs of other members. It is just like a web ring, with a twist. You browse other Blog Explosion sites while a 100-pixel–high frame sits atop your browser window with a 30-second timer. Once the timer runs out, you can move on to the next site (if you want) to earn another half credit.
Every so often you can randomly win a “mystery prize” of between two and one hundred credits. Each credit guarantees that one person will visit your site. Many visitors will be so caught up in the clicking for credits game that they won’t stay much longer than thirty seconds, but you can “Blogmark” interesting sites to revisit later.
Um, I have to go now. Click. Read. Click. Read. Click. Read.
