About Express Milwaukee Blog Network

You've seen aggregators before. Express Milwaukee Blog Network jumps a generation ahead. We're not interested in reprinting your posts and we don't have an ideological ax to grind. We are going to use your feeds and the feeds of top bloggers from your online community to create new content and information that will organize this slice of the Internet making it work better for bloggers and their readers.

Our launch version offers these features:

1. The day's top news based solely on what news stories Milwaukee bloggers are linking to -- no matter what mainstream news source they're in.
2. A micro search engine that will only search the Milwaukee blogosphere.
3. A quick guide to the hottest blog comment sections in Milwaukee.
4. A quick index of the day's most active Milwaukee blogs.
5. A guide to the blog posts most link to by other Milwaukee bloggers.

In one place, in one minute, you'll get an update on what's going on across the blogosphere. And your readers will be able to find the best Milwaukee content, not based on random voters or some editors choices, but based on the real actions of Milwaukee bloggers and their readers.

Our theory is simple: We think our tools will help new blog readers find the best content fast. A good experience means they'll come back for more. We also think a quick grasp of what's going on in the blogosphere will help bloggers get more out of the time they spend blogging.

I hope you're interested in what we're doing. In order to keep improving the site, we want your feedback. Write directly to me at editor@blognetnews.com.

If you want to help, write about what we're doing and send your readers our way. Those blogs that add Express Milwaukee Blog Network on their blogroll will get a permanent link on our front page as well.
