BlogNetNews: No Thanks, Already Got One

November 21, 2006 by 2 Comments

Today I received an e-mail announcing BlogNetNews Oregon.  What is it?  A directory of Oregon blogs, which from what I can tell in a first impression does all the same things that Orblogs does, but with less features, user-friendliness, or local feel.

No thanks… already got one.

    Congrats. You’ve posted the very first bad review of BNN since we launched our prototype in July. Someone had to do it sooner or later.

    I agree with you that Orblogs is great. Really elegant design and nice features. There’s a lot to learn there.

    Don’t dismiss us so quick though. We are only getting started. And I think you may be mistaken when you say we don’t offer any features that Orblogs doesn’t.

    Try this:
    http://www.blognetnews.com/oregon/searchtool.php

    It is a targeted search engine that just covers Oregen political and news blogs that you can host on your own site.

    We’ll be rolling out more useful features like it in the new year.

    Best,
    Dave Mastio

    Dave, thanks for your comments. It’s good to see that you’re out reading about feedback on your venture even when it’s not positive. I’m curious to see how things evolve, although as I stated, for now Orblogs does what I need it to do. Good luck though… competition drives innovation, and I look forward to what will be gained by having more than one player in this market.
