What is Open Blogging? According to my friend, Antman, Open Blogging is:

“Open Blogging is the use of one blog by an unlimited number of authors or contributors. Open Bloggin’, like the name suggests, is an open blogging platform where anyone from the blogosphere can post whenever and whatever they want. Open Bloggin’ changes the way blogs work by increasing the social networking interaction of bloggin’, providing more information, creating more robust dialog and feedback and offering more exposure to the authors. An Open Blog is full of energy as they are always on.”

Sounds like a pretty exciting concept, doesn’t it?

Where can you find this cool, new Open Blog? On The AntHill, of course–the internet’s first Open Blog! If you haven’t already, go see the great posts and interesting conversations for yourself!

What can The AntHill do for me? By writing posts on The AntHill, it not only gives you a larger audience of readers, it exposes you to people who may not otherwise hear of your blog! There is always new stuff being posted, and the discussions that follow are often informative, fun and an easy way to make connections with folks you may not come across anywhere else!

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, then you know my all-time favorite social networking site is cre8Buzz! One of the things that sets cre8Buzz! apart from the “other” sites is the true sense of community that you find there. I felt that the very first day I joined, and that feeling has only grown since. The Buzzers are genuinely nice, friendly and caring people. I’m proud to be a part of that!

cre8Buzz! launched a new feature recently, The Anthill. Once again, it is something that sets it apart from the rest! The Anthill is a community blog, where all members can post stories and comment. You will always find interesting, inspiring and fun discussions going on. Mashable even wrote about it HERE.

What are you waiting for? Stop by and meet the Antman! You won’t have to go looking for him, he’ll be one of the first to welcome you to cre8Buzz! Then I hope you’ll visit my page and let me know you’ve safely arrived at the Buzz!

My name is Stacey and I am a cre8Buzz! addict.

Seriously.

One fateful January day, when I was a new blogger looking for ways to gain exposure for my blog, I happened upon a site called cre8Buzz! I’ve been there every day since. I have joined many other social networking sites, but cre8Buzz! stands apart from any other I’ve seen.

And here are some of the reasons I feel that way:

• There is a true sense of community there that I have never found on any other site. Not only is it great to have that sense of belonging, but I feel as though I have a personal interest in the success of this place that I like so much.
• The people I have met there are genuine, caring, intelligent and really nice!
• The cre8Buzz! team is true to their motto: “be seen… be heard… be found”. And on the Anthill: “Where the ants speak.” It really is about the people and giving us a chance to shine!
• The Antman is ‘one of us’. He hangs out with us, comments on our stuff, welcomes each and every newcomer, and even answers emails! Try finding that on one of those other sites! (I haven’t.)
• It’s fun!

And the addition of the Anthill (cre8Buzz’s brand new community blog, and a first of it’s kind!) is just feeding my addiction! It’s only about 24 hours old, and there are already a ton of outstanding posts and comments!

Thank you to the cre8Buzz! team for doing all that you do!

Stop by my profile at cre8Buzz! and say hello! If you’re not already a fellow addict member, sign up while you’re there! It will only take a minute and then you’re on your way!

Today marks a very big day for my friend Misty Dawn (from My Dogs Keep Me Sane and Misty’s Words). She has just written her 500th post! Congratulations Misty Dawn!!

Misty could have written about anything. Or not written at all (which would have been sad). She chose to do something very special. She wrote about her friends. Her blogging friends! “Celebrating 500 with a Tribute to YOU” is a beautifully written post dedicated to the people she has met through blogging and have become important folks in her life. The fact that she includes me in that special group touches me deeply, because I definitely count Misty Dawn among my friends as well!

If you’re not already a regular reader of My Dogs Keep Me Sane (which I hope you are!), please take a moment to visit today and wish Misty a “Happy 500th Post”!

Congratulations again, my friend! Big hugs to you!
