Following up on its recent opening, The College Blog Network has unveiled its first new feature. An excerpt from their blog post:

BlogWire is a blog aggregation system that keeps TCBN members up to date with the latest posts to college blogs around the country. More popular topics appear more prominently while less popular topics appear more subdued, users control what topics stand out.

BBN has welcomed a quintet of blogs to their network, bringing the number of their members to 90:

• The Pin-Up Chronicles —“Behind the scenes at Bomshell Bargains” Product reviews for products we sell, makeovers, fun facts, trivia.


• Spoiled Pretty—“Spoiled Pretty is a daily smorgasbord of beauty product reviews and news, makeup techniques and tricks, industry trends, money-saving tips, and incredible giveaways!”


• I Heart Makeup—“In my opinion, my blog is a different kind of make-up blog. There are many blogs on Hollywood make-up trends, and Hollywood make-up artists. I believe that Bollywood should be given a chance as well.”


• Beauty Junkie in San Francisco—“A blog devoted to all things beauty related, from a San Francisco point of view.”


• Eco*Pretty—“Eco*Pretty is a compendium of high-performing eco-conscious and more natural beauty products, of which there have been a sky-rocketing  number in recent years. “

The College Blog Network’s Dan Wasyluk has sent us word that TCBN has officially opened. You can read their official announcement here.
