A Tanone dot Net

When John Chow and Jeremy Schoemaker had their RSS Feed Contest in October, I wrote about “Watching The Contest of Two Giants” or in its Indonesia title Mengikuti Pertandingan Dua Raksasa in my Indonesian Language blog which basically emphasized the point on how could we ride on this contest, even if possible, to sway the result into one way or another should we have that power. By power here I meant, the traffic and loyal readers.

Well, Collin LaHay followed the same story from the other side, but he moved beyond the admiration and out of that contest he came up with RSSHuggers concept as you can read in the part of what inspired him to make this website. John Chow has reviewed it twice and now, again, he is at the top of the blogger list in rssHugger page. The last one I saw was Douglass Karr that has created the Technorati widget that I used in my Indonesian language blog, 28oktober.net and many more. It’s increamenting. Just for your information, this is what Collin LaHay said in his own words:

The Idea

rssHugger is a unique website that aims to bring bloggers and readers together. rssHugger aims to provide blog owners with a unique easy-to-use way to promote their blogs by sending them traffic, building backlinks for search engine optimization, as well as attracting new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the reader.

Please check the rssHugger site to get more information, then register, and create your own page. I have seen almost the same concept in Indonesian Bloggers site, where you can see that my blog was listed as blog number 5006 when I registered there early this month. But if you go to my main page and see at Indonesian Blogger’s icon on the sidebar, you’d see that the number of my rank is coming way down from 5006 and I hope it will keep dropping. Hopefully the same would happened to this blog. Thanks Collin for the creative idea and hopefully we all can benefit from the serendipity outcome of John Chow versus Jeremy Schoemaker Contest and get more traffic to our sites. Congratulation for Collin LaHay that came up with this brillian idea and thanks for providing it for free.
