A Community Feed Tracking Experiment: Do you Want Me to Read Your Blog?
I’ve been terribly busy lately with several online projects and haven’t had the time to follow the blog feeds I have in my Google feed reader. There’s around 100+ feeds, each with dozens of posts patiently waiting to be read. It almost feels like a chore.
I’ll probably spend some time in the next few days going through each feed and picking out the interesting articles for further reading/linking.
While this is a solution for now, I’m thinking of a better way to monitor my feeds in the long run. Megite might be a solution.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Megite’s interface and have recommended them as a content aggregator to help you create blog content. I’m thinking of taking things one step further by exporting all the feeds I monitor into Megite and thereby creating my own personalized content tracker.
Want to Join Dosh Dosh on Megite?
I’m quite sure that I’ve missed out on a fair number of great blogs with interesting content and now’s the time to make up for it.
If you own a blog that covers the same topics as Dosh Dosh (see my categories on the right), please leave your feed URL in the comments and I will add it to the final OPML file to be submitted to Megite.
After this is done, your published blog posts will show up as headline links and/or excerpts on a Megite webpage, thereby informing me as well as everyone else and allowing us to visit your blog to read more.
There is no criteria for inclusion except for one topical prerequisite: Your blog must be about blogging, making money online, affiliate marketing, social media marketing, SEO and website monetization.
What’s the Purpose and Benefits of this exercise?
The goal of this is to aggregate and consolidate all like-minded and relevant blogs within Dosh Dosh’s niche on one specific webpage for communal monitoring.
The reason why I’ve limited it to blogs of a specific topic is because blog posts from these blogs can become fodder for posts on similar blogs. For example, while I’ll love to follow an anime blog, it’s very unlikely that I’ll reference them consistently when creating material for Dosh Dosh.
Keeping the collection of blogs focused on a specific topic allows one to easily access valuable articles that enrich one’s understanding of the topic. Hopefully, this arrangement will also enable one to spend more time networking with other bloggers as well.
Ideally, everyone should possibly gain some exposure for their blog and I will be able to keep track of what Dosh Dosh’s readers are thinking and blogging about.
I’ve been fairly interested in following the blogs of many Dosh Dosh readers, but just haven’t had the time to subscribe to and keep track of so many new feeds.
Timeframe for Submission
I feel a need to be more current and less insular and this solution seems to be a way to achieve both aims simultaneously. I’m not sure how Megite will work out for me but like everything else, I’ll probably need to experiment with it to decide.
I’ll leave this post open for one week so everyone can get involved. After which, I’ll close it and compile a list of the feed urls submitted.
Try leaving your feed link in the URL section of the comment box so as to minimize the risk of it being caught as spam. Do drop a comment if you have any questions and suggestions.
What a wonderful idea! Right now I use the Google Reader Shared RSS Picks widget on a couple of sites. I wonder if I can set up several different Megite collections with the same account? That way I can have a Megite page, topic specific at each of m information sites without having to set up new accounts with different email addresss for each one. I’ll go check it out! Great idea. I’m looking forward to being part of and reading at you new dosh dosh megite aggregate page!
Here’s my blog’s feed. Thanks!
Sounds like a great idea. You can count me in.

Maki,
My domain front page was recently converted into a blog with the primary purpose of encouraging potential bloggers and making money via blogs and web sites. I have five other blogs including hundreds of posts from the past 2 1/2 years living in the subdirectories of my HOEI.com domain. My blogging blog feed is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/hoei
I wrote a post on the benefits for having multiple blogs under a single domain.
Nice project
CMI.
Hey Maki, I’ve got a feed for you to include. Great idea. Once Megite is running with all our feeds, we can all do our best to promote it with our own linking system as well to get it up to a higher PR asap as well as readers. Awesome

Great site Maki. My site is dedicated to real estate in Southern California and the nation so it doesn’t fall into your niche, but just wanted to send kudos to a great job that you are doing. Wonderful content and very well written.

Hey, this is totaly off subject, but you need to get a favicon.ico http://www.favicon.cc/ (not my site) so that your bookmark doesn’t just blend in with all the other white bread bookmarks. Then you can do an article on branding or something.
I like this idea, the I can read all the stuff about promoting my blog in the one place. Give us a post when this is done. Thanks
sounds good
this is for Write for Blogs:
