13:59 by FoxTwo Back in 2007, a new blog traffic tool appeared on the Internet - Blogrush.
1 year later, I received an email saying that Blogrush is shutting down. That would of course, include the shutdown of Traffic Jam too.
Now, I've written about how mis-named the 2 sites are. Blogrush didn't, it crawled. Traffic Jam wasn't, too. An avalanche of traffic poured in instead. Now, both are shut down.
I wouldn't really say that I miss them though. Blogrush was a nice idea but it didn't work that well. There are a ton of other traffic-exchange sites out there to help you with your blog (and mine). Right now, though, all I am doing is just to remove the Blogrush code from my blog. I'll eventually get around to looking for another traffic-exchange site but not right now.
In any case, I haven't really been updating my blog here anywhere near a "consistent" basis. Lately it's been pretty ad-hoc. In the past I'd update once every couple of days at least. Now, a week can go by before I find time to write something down.
Goodbye Blogrush! It was good having you around!
