BlogRush stormed into the blogosphere in September of 2007 and quickly became “all the rage” with endorsements from many big name bloggers. It never really made sense to me, but gave it a shot since ‘everyone else was doing it’. Turns out my first instinct was right - BlogRush was essentially useless and soon disappeared from the vast majority of blogs. However, a few good times were had along the way ;)

Well, it’s been almost two months since I last wrote about Blogrush, but it seems the story is not over yet. Check out these two screenshots from Clicky (my web analytics program)-

This is my fourth post on BlogRush. I introduced y’all to it on September 16th, pulled the widget on September 18th, and laughed rather loudly at their CEO’s ranting antics on September 26th. I still receive regular email updates from them, not because I’m unable to unsubscribe, but because they never cease to amuse me.

Wow, there’s no need to go blog surfing to find the crazy rant of the day this morning. It was sent directly to me email box, courtesy of John Reese, CEO and Founder of BlogRush. He pummeled all of his early adopters late last night with a seven page, 2500 word rant titled “Shocking Changes at BlogRush”. Makes me all the more proud to have removed…
