I just added two new videos on how BlogDash works. The first in an interview with David Spinks, co-founder of BlogDash. It was recorded Friday, October 15, 2010, at BlogWorld and New Media Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This interview includes a brief tour of the BlogDash service that simplifies the process of identifying and pitching bloggers while giving bloggers more control over how (and if) they want to be pitched and how they are presented to PR and marketing agencies.
This second video is another interview of David Spinks with Arik Hanson:
The BlogDash site is just out of alpha testing so it still has some programming and usability issues, but it doesn’t hurt to list our blogs early. Watch for:
- Fields that have unknown limits that truncate what you enter.
- An extra field in the process for claiming your blog. If you ignore it their site will put 1s in the empty field. Most likely that is a programming error that will be resolved.
- When you connect your Twitter account instead of confirmation in the pop-up window you may see the home page. Just close the window and hope it actually worked.
- Connecting to Facebook does not yet work. I received; “an error occurred with site_test. Please try again later“.
Blog outreach – also referred to as blogger outreach - will be huge in 2011 and beyond. Bloggers interested in working with businesses should volunteer by listing on sites like BlogDash and increase their activities and influence on Social Networks and by collaborating with other bloggers in their niches.
Any blogger interested in increasing their skills and being introduced to other bloggers is invited to connect with me. Just leave a comment in this blog or use the information in my contact tab in the header to reach me.
Disclosure: I am not affiliated with BlogDash in any way and they did not request that I write this post. I regularly write about the solutions I believe are most useful for small businesses and bloggers. Many offerings come and go but few endure. Bloggers like me do our best to share what works and what provides sufficient value that it is likely to be around indefinitely.

In out term we call it as “Bloggers Park”. Sounds interesting right? Such a kind of place is very enchanting as you get to meet a lot of people which can add value to your business. This applies to both the businessmen and the blogger. Some of us are keen at other people’s profession. So I think it’s the best place because you can get full information about a person without even the person knowing that you inquired about him.

cool term man..in ours we call it Blogger Place..kinda lame but we converge a lot there
I think those who are searching for bloggers and businessmen should join Blog dash. Blog dash is somewhat similar to a site called “LinkedIn “. Every person searching for a person of other profile does login into LinkedIn. So I think for bloggers, blog dash is a very good place. Also businessmen who need you will contact you immediately whenever required. I have even heard that blog dash is going to expand so it will then become a very interesting and a huge hub for all the bloggers and businessmen.
Blog dash can be called as a Search Engine for the bloggers and the businessmen as both of them can search each other easily on this platform. The best part about it that I liked is that we can gain a lot of information about a particular person without even he without coming to know that somebody has actually inquired about them. So everything can be known by everybody and everything can be a secret to everybody.
Hi. I am new to blog dash but the way readers have posted their comments I think blog dash of course has got a huge fan following. It already seems to be like a hub where we can reach out to businessmen and bloggers easily. I wonder what would happen when it will expand further. When it does then I think it will surely be like being on face book. Then even blog dash is soon going to have huge traffic on its website.
Blog dash is a great tool to reach out to more than 30,000 bloggers. Businesses find it easier to find bloggers related to their business so it acts like a filter which is less time consuming. All I need to do is upload my contact spreadsheet.
Today from this post i got very unique information, I have never heard about BlogDash before. Still i have no any blog but looking for start a blog related to SEO. When i will start blogging definitely i will use BlogDash first.
Thanks David,
Even I am just waiting for blog dash to expand. If it really does this year then it is going to become a big hub for businessmen and bloggers. It will look like a market where people will find each other. When you want to search your friends you take the help of face book these days similarly I think blog dash will also soon become a search place for all businessmen and bloggers. It will truly be an amazing place.
Because of Blog dash, everybody is able to reach each other easily. I have even heard that blog dash is going to be huge in 2011. So I am looking forward to it. Let’s see what blog dash has more to offer. Many of my blogger friends have reached each other and also many other businessmen only through the use of blog dash. The best part about it that I liked is that anyone can know the other persons details without even the other person knowing about it.
I have blogger friends that use blogdash and they love it. They like that fact they can choose what opportunities are pitched to them and the can find opportunities in their niche.

Blog dash is one such place where the bloggers can find business people around them and businessmen can search for good bloggers. Blog dash works really well and bloggers can know about anyone without even the other person being informed about it. I am actually waiting to get some people from blog dash for my business. Let’s see how fast I get to know people. But seriously, I like this place.
This is a great opportunity for the business people and also the bloggers. For the business people, they get all the information about the bloggers. It may also happen that sometimes the bloggers may be added to the list without even they knowing about it. Blog dash is really great if you know how to take advantage of it.
BlogDash is now an option for PR folks looking for that magic bullet for effective blogger outreach.

Very promising, but currently very buggy. The sign up process is unclear and the UI is confusing. They need to be more clear about what information they are seeking and fix some of the bugs (signing up for your “publications” for example, shows two text boxes that are required
