Our Grand Effect blog network isn’t going to grow very large, so this may be one of the last times you see an announcement about new members being added. Today, all of the Grand Effect bloggers want to welcome three more members to our network: Joe Anderson, Steven Hodson, and Mark Evans, all of […]

Thanks to awesomesauce blogger, Corvida of SheGeeks, I just found out that along with her site, Sarahintampa.com has been added to AllTop’s social media page. Well, cool!
Now, I did say not to long ago that when it came to dashboard sites I just "didn’t get it." I didn’t understand how anyone would choose to […]

Today, we’re proud to announce the completely revamped GrandEffect.com web site. The new site, redesigned by David Peralty of Xfep, features our network’s news, blogger profiles, RSS feeds - yes, including a combined feed for all our bloggers, and advertising info.
There are still a few tweaks to be made and more features coming in […]

Despite Louis’s attempt to start this weekend’s bitchmeme on the topic of blogs and advertising - damn, Louis, you’re getting good at this! - I’m going to refrain from that discussion (as long as I can resist, that is) and write about something else instead.
…And we thought Techmeme was the echo-chamber!….OK, just kidding, […]

I was going to stay out of this one because I feel like I’ve already voiced my opinion on it, but then found I just couldn’t resist: the weekend’s bitchmeme was fractured commenting in the blogosphere. On Deep Jive Interests Tony started the conversation by getting riled up over Shyftr after Matthew wondered if […]

For a while, I had the "Share This" button on my site, which, as you may know, pops-up a window linking to every gosh-darned social news and bookmarking service currently available. And you know what? I doubt if anyone ever used that thing. If people want to bookmark you, they will do so, and […]

Time.com just released their annual blog index featuring their list of the 2008 Top 25 blogs. The blogs were picked based on poll results ranging from 1 (abysmal) to 10 (indispensable.) Strangely, their list featured 11 blogs with an average of 5 or below. These are top blogs? I don’t think so.
For some better […]

Wow! I’m really excited and surprised that our little tech blog network, Grand Effect, has now been covered on Mashable! And all this before we’re even done building our homepage!

Grand Effect network member and social media blogger, Corvida of SheGeeks, sent me this cool badge today. The badge was her way to say thanks to all the bloggers who have supported her lately as she develops her…err…awesomesauce blog!
Thanks, Corvida!
If you haven’t checked out her blog yet, I highly recommend it to anyone […]
