My Latest Obsession
Check it out:
Seriously, I have them so duped.
So, what in the frickin’ brackin’ is cre8buzz? Well, see, it’s an online community—-bloggers like myself, mostly. But what’s neat about it is that it’s in beta, so it’s still small (meaning that peons like myself can make it to number one). So when they say “community” they mean COMMUNITY—-not just a place where a bunch of people get together and try to outdo each other.
And no, before you ask, I am not married to one of the creators, nor is this a paid post. Hahaha.
Within the cre8buzz community, there are a bunch of… communities. Okay, I don’t feel like I’m explaining this very well! haha. Anyway, once you become a member of cre8buzz, you have to pick a community that you want to be a part of. At first I picked “moms” because I am, in fact, a mom. But I moved away from moms, because for all my mothering, I’m not really a “mommy blogger”—-so I went to the “women” community instead. It’s a little more generic, a little smaller, a place where I felt like I not only fit in, but could contribute—-I could be ME–ALL of me, rather than the “mommy-blogger” version of me. And people come by and read my stuff and rate it, they see my pics and rate them, they comment and I comment back.
I’m getting to know so many people, and so many people are getting to know me. It’s incredible. I’m able to promote my blog while meeting amazing people.
So, anyway, because it’s in beta, the general public isn’t welcome yet—-it’s by invitation only (and thanks, Kimberly, for inviting me in the first place!) But one of these days, it’s gonna go public and it’ll be huge. And I, my dear gentle readers, will be a part of it.
And, as it just so happens, they have trusted me with a handful of invitations, and I’m dying to hand them out. DYING, I say! I’m like a kid in a candy store with a dollar in my pocket! So let me know if this is something you might be interested in.
(But if any of you tries to dethrone me, I’ll getcha. I don’t know where, I don’t know how, but oh, believe me, I WILL. Kidding, of course, because the second any one of you lifts a finger to do something, you’ll dethrone me. Sigh. Hey–at least I had my moment at the top, right?)
So, come on. Come and rock the buzz with me. Let me give you one of these invites burning a hole in my pocket. I promise I’ll give you a good rating. 
I’m in on the buzz but seriously girlfriend when do you have TIME for all of this? I was just so overwhelmed by it all. I think I’ll stick to my two blogs.
And you? A peon? P-shaw!
I’m loving the buzz! Thank you!
I told Antman that I’m going to create a new serial story for it: something along the lines of my current Soap Opera Sunday saga.
Oh, and PS–even when the buzz numbers in the millions, you will still be #1. Because you ROCK.
Well um i’d be interested ‘cept I’m sorta already (tee hee) there.
N stuff.
You know Shauna (Chocolate Shauna) (hahah, that’s funny!) sent me an invitation, but I didn’t read it because I was getting a lot of weird invitations and by the time I realized it was from her, it said I could sign up for the waiting list.
I’m not cool anymore!!!???
Okay, I’m interested…so I’m going to email you now…
I want to be a woman blogger too. That sounds like a great site. Do I need to email you?
I humbly bow down in the presence of the great queen of cre8buzz. You’re my hero!
Oh, my God. I communicate with a Number 1. It’s wondrous. Well done.
Hi #1 Brillig Woman Blogger of the World! Whooo Hooo!
Yes, I am interested. Throw me one.
Congratulations Number One! I hope you will remember the little people when you take over the world.
You’re number one!
That sounds refreshing…my participation in communities has waned as they become so big that you just get lost in the shuffle. A small community sounds so much better…
I’m not really into being in a community. Unless maybe it’s like a nudist commune or something!
It does sound interesting…but I am not completely sure I understand what it is…do you have to pay or is it free???
I would love to join the buzz, if that’s possible, and CONGRATS!
I got an invitation, but I have to confess that I still need to check it out. Is there a virtual top secret handshake? Any kids I need to stay away from
I too am remiss in responding to an invitation. Ah, me. If I find it again, will it still let me play?
Do you have a way to extend the day by 24hours at a time?
And, congratulations on the solid declaration of your all reigning COOLNESS. That rocks.
Hmm, if you’ve any invites left I’d be interested, but if not no worries, and well done you top buzz lady.
Fantastic.
I had never heard of that–and yes, I join with some of the others in asking where you get the time for it
This seems exactly what I’ve been looking for- an actual community. Blogher is just people looking for blogrolls to go on. Technorati has NO inter user communication. I’d love an invite! I just emailed you!
The rating system drives me insane. Insane I tell you. Of course mine continues to go down and all I really want to have it say is that I’m number 1. Can’t a girl get a little validation ?
Ok, that’s it I’m starting a new community. Only I highly doubt I’d be able to give it the time it deserves. *sigh*
[…] the gorgeous and talented Brillig blogged about Cre8buzz just over a month ago it sounded […]
if you still have invites, i’d love to join too!
well done on the rating!
