ActiveRain's New Social Blog
I like it! Yes, I've tried it and I like it. I find that I can read more post faster even with commenting. This is a very convenient way to keep up with the folks that you subscribe to.
Have I subscribed to you? Have you subscribed to me?
We have a new feature that helps you view the most recent posts of the members to which you subscribe. Previously you clicked Blogs, saw your blog subscription list on the right hand side and clicked through each amazingly talented member one by one.
No longer my friends! The new ActiveRain Social Blog makes it easier!
The Social Blog is a one stop shop to view the latest posts from your favorite bloggers. Go to http://activerain.com/social/blog and you will see your own version. Here's what mine looks like:
The most recent post of my subscriptions is by Pat Kennedy so her most recent post is listed first. If you scroll down you'll see 10 of the most recent blog posts from the members to which you subscribe on the first page.
Check out the 'Suggested Reading' at the top. The algorithm looks at who I'm subscribed to, who they're subscribed to, adds in a few other components and suggests other bloggers which may interest me. Like many of the social suggestion tools out there, it makes suggestions based on things that interest you. Facebook suggests friends, Amazon suggests products, now ActiveRain suggests bloggers. The 'suggested reading' bar will change each time you return so you always have a chance to check out new and interesting bloggers here in the Rain.
We hope this makes viewing your posts by your favorite bloggers easier while also introducing you to other members of the community that may interest you.
Let it Rain!!
