Blogged Blog

Gladys and I attended the Web 2.0 Expo held in San Francisco and it
was a terrific experience. The main goal of our trip was to see what
cool things people were doing and we were definitely impressed.

I think the highlight of our trip was meeting with Matt Mullenweg,
founder of WordPress. Both Gladys and I were impressed by what a
nice guy he was. He seemed both intelligent and humble and it’s
pretty amazing that he accomplished what he did at the age of 24. We
also attended some of the parties and it was great to see everyone in
a relaxed atmosphere. Pete Cashmore and Kristen Nicole were both
really approachable and friendly — we saw them at the Mashable party.

Overall, the trip was very productive and we met with many high
profile bloggers and are working on ways to improve the functionality
and visibility of Blogged.com.

We’ve been pretty busy working on ways to improve Blogged and creating tools to make discovering blogs easier. More on that later.

We can tell you that we have changed the way you rate blogs. Now you can rate a blog in increments of 0.1 instead of 0.5. One of our users suggested this idea and we went ahead and took the advice.

Remember when we showed you our new Blogged shirts? Well, we are looking for ways to give some of these awesome shirts to our users. We are thinking up ways (a contest, perhaps) to give some of these babies out. Stay tuned.

In case you forgot what the shirts look like, here you go:
