Thursday Thirteen #1,025: 13 Reasons You Should Join Bumpzee

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe via rss -or- inspiration, psychology, blogging

#1) It’s not flashy like some other networking sites
#2) It’s heavily screened and moderated by the community members and use of the “Dump it!” buttin to keep the spam and shameless self-promotion out.
#3) It’s simple
#4) “Bump This” is a cool phrase
#5) It has a small number of communities and members still
#6) I’m on it :)
#7) Rose is on it :)
#8) Other cool blogs are on it :)
#9) The widget shows analytics (just to the blog owner)
#10) It has a Wordpress plugin for the loop so readers can bump posts up or down. (Good tool to gauge the popularity of your content.)
#11) It has “discussions” like other services, but it shows live links to the “on blog” discussions going on in your comments so as not to shamelessly steal visitors from your posts.
#12) Has an impressive “Discover” blogs feature along with tags and other sorting of blogs on Bumpzee.
#13) Has lists based on most active and most “bumped”I’ve been a member for a while but only recently have I really tried the service. So far, it’s the one that is working best to get me new readers! Happy TT everybody!

But, does not DIGG do all of what you have listed. And it has tons of traffic on top. Why not just DIGG?

Hi Ajeet. My experience with Digg has been that I rarely get what I am looking for due to people’s abuse of it with self-promotion and poor content “digging.”

Digg is good though as far as these go. I have to explore it more to be fair with them. I can only speak from what I have experienced. A lot of people say Digg is the best, so of course, I need more time to research that claim! Bumpzee is more of a community whereas Digg is just a bazillion times bigger and less of a controlled, small group. Hell, why not join both?
