By

Jay Brewer, CEO of Blogpire was featured in the November edition of Mass High Tech Magazine:

Can web logs make money? Ask Blogpire Productions chief executive officer Jay Brewer — and the analyst community — and you will get an unqualified “yes.”

Arlington-based designer Brewer launched into the blogosphere a year and a half ago with a blog focused on single-serve coffee brewing machines.

His company has grown from a single blog, singleservecoffee.com, to 11 titles on niche products that cover coffee brewers, poker chips, T-shirts, GPS receivers, TVs, kitchen gadgets, fast food, cooking news, liquors, tennis racquets and shaving products.

“They are almost like micro-consumer reports,” Brewer said.

9rules: No announcements yet

By

9rules held off on any new announcements today due to issues with Dreamhost, which hosts some of the new members:

We had four sites lined up today to announce, but at least two of them that I know of have been effected by the outages at Dreamhost. Therefore, this just means that Monday will be even more “action-packed” (is that possible on a blog that just announces stuff?) so hopefully Dreamhost can get their act together by then.

Scrivs also gives us a nice-shout out in his post:

if you are super curious as to who some of the new members are Blog Network Watch has done its Technorati homework and found some

We’ll take that as a sign of a job well done. Now more digging!

Week One

By

In our first week here, two interviews completed (4 more coming), 63 posts, and 18 comments. Not a bad start.

An even better start: 46 subscribers to our feed (from zero a week ago) and an increase of around 1100% in our traffic from the day we took over the domain and setup the blog.

We’re pleased – and we love the feedback that we’ve gotten from our readers so far.

So here’s to the first week – and many more to come.

We do see some opportunities. We’re going to interview ourselves, since we’re new to the blog network world. That should prove entertaining, particularly if there’s bourbon involved. Second, we’re looking to expand our coverage beyond the usual topics – and usual networks – that we’ve been covering so far. Got an idea? Drop us a line at tips [at] blogmedia [dot] biz.

Let us know your thoughts on how we’re doing by posting in our comments.

Thanks again for coming by!

Instablogs unveils new design for Foodmall

By

Instablogs has unveiled a new design for Foodmall

Foodmall is celebrating its one month with a new, improvised look. The designers in our Foodmall team have carefully incorporated the most subtle and earthly shades, not overshadowing the actual color of the food. We have applied the theory of food styling to the very place that holds the very food world for you ; that leaves you guys with an answer isn’t it.

We’re not entirely sure what the commentary means, but the new design is live.
