Writers are Huggers!

Writers love readers! And we like to read other writers too. So we've just applied to get hooked up with the new networking service for bloggers, rssHugger.com, to expand our readership in both directions. And only a few hours later, we're in their list!

For posting an honest review of the site here, we get free registration – and so can you at this present time. If you don't want to review the service, you can still get it for the one-time fee of only $20 – a bargain whichever way you look at it.

The site itself is attractive, clear, and easy to navigate. And the writing is impeccable! Colin LaHay, the man behind it, describes himself as 'an experienced entrepreneur, search engine optimizer, and internet marketer'. He is also perfectly at ease in using the English language. Don't laugh – it's rarer than you might think. I love writing that delivers the message so clearly and smoothly that you don't even notice its excellence unless you stop to look.

This is a new service to which we've just signed up, so we can't honestly tell you yet that it's working wonderfully, though there's every sign that it will. What we can point out is that it has been nominated for a $10,000 grant from IdeaBlob for being one of the best business ideas in November. (Yes, that's how new it is!) That tells you something. And this grant would enable rssHugger to sponsor prizes and contests, as well as further marketing the website, so let's hope it wins!

Meanwhile, we look forward to meeting other writers, and plenty of them, for virtual hugs and mutual pleasure!
