A Quick Overview
Who's a Good Blog? is a blog discovery platform designed for readers to easily discover good blogs and for bloggers to promote their postings. This platform is FREE for both blog readers and bloggers.
Readers will be able to access our blog database and view blog thumbnails by either browsing by topic or by searching for specific topics or keywords. Readers can click on the thumbnail, which links directly to the blog. Readers will be able to curate a list of blogs and/or blog topics that interest them and receive email notices of related new postings. Reader feedback will be an important factor in choosing the order in which to present blogs. A number of metrics like views, likes and rankings are being considered.
Bloggers can add their blog(s) to our database and have an opportunity to "tune" the presentation of their blog.
Our focus is evergreen content blogs. To put it another way, not news, not general corporate pages (company blogs are welcome), not forums, not wikis, not podcasts. Just blogs. In fact, as we get started, just blog postings.

Free for Readers and Bloggers
While we have not yet given a lot of thought to monetization of this platform we want to maximize the number of readers and bloggers. To that end we intend the the platform to be free for both bloggers and blog readers. At some point we may use display advertising and/or affiliate links but we are nowhere close to being there yet.
