FuelMyBlog

FuelMyBlog is a UK-based blogging community. It was founded based on a very good idea, i.e. to bring all together the bloggers around the world. New bloggers are encouraged to sign-up to this service because they can find some useful services provided by FuelMyBlog, such as forum, as well as get a chance to promote their blogs and hence, elected as “Blog of the Day.” A first look, FuelMyBlog is functioning quite similar to Technorati, only that they’ve taken extra serious actions in fighting and curb the spam blogs. For example, a blogger can add her blog at anytime, but only if her blog is approved by FuelMyBlog, then she will be allowed to add a widget or the friends widget called “fuelroll” onto her blog.
On the FuelMyBlog homepage, you’ll notice that it look like a blog directory, where you can find several different categories range from Art/Design to Books/Writers to Technology, and etc. Each blog appeared to have a small dialog box present to you the brief information of that particular blog when your mouse hover on it, and you can either “Fuel this blog,” i.e. vote up, “Snuff this blog,” i.e. vote down, View this blog, or Add to friends of that blog. To encourage bloggers to participate on FuelMyBlog, they also organize the competition and bloggers can win prizes from their creative content.
More information can be found on a video embedded below, CEO Kevin Dixie talked about FuelMyBlog.
