Viral Community News

The 'Rookie' Edition

If this is your first time here, Viral Community News is my way of highlighting blogs and blog posts that I've come across lately that I wanted to share with the Garden's readers. But this edition is going to be a bit different because this will be the first time I've linked to all of the blogs I have listed here.

People always ask me 'How do you find all these cool blogs?'. Simple, I look for them. I realized months ago that there are a ton of great blogs out that aren't getting much attention, for whatever reason. Normally it's simply a matter of their just starting out and not having a chance to build their community yet. I was once in the same spot with both BMA and here, so I like to do what I can to give these guys a 'jumpstart', and draw some extra attention to them.

Here's some cool marketing and branding and word-of-mouth and viral marketing blogs and posts I found recently(and...and...and):

• Work, In Plain English
• Didn't care for Agency.com's attempt at viral marketing? Cherbert says Saturn's was MUCH better.
• What's Next in Marketing
• 'Customer Service' via Where's My Jetpack?(great blog-name, BTW)
• Geert's moved Brandopia yet again
• Susan was kind enough to email me and let me know about her blog Bird's Eye View
• A big 'welcome back' to Mike Bawden's Much Ado About Marketing. Mike's a great guy and was one of the first commenters we had at BMA. His blog was down for about 6 months but he's back now, so stop by and check it out!

Finally, thanks to Ron(Ron if you have a blog, let me know and I'll add it to my favorites), Stefan, and Douglas for adding me to their Technorati Favorites. If you want to know why I'm trying to get everyone to favorite me, you can read this, and if you'd like to help, just click on the logo below and that's it! Thanks guys!
