		<description>I&#039;m looking forward to being approved by BlogCatalog having had one blog rejected a few months back. A friend urged me to reapply saying that it was much more beneficial to here than MyBlogLog. 

I can&#039;t wait to find out for myself!</description>

		<description>Hey Tony, thanks for responding

As I&#039;ve said already, I think you guys are doing a great job there and judging by the activity over at your beta forums it looks as if you&#039;ve got a good bit of interest going on there already. I think its great that you have chosen to involve the community in the shaping of things, particulalry how youve reacted to and acted on critiques (nofollow for example)

You guys have a great hands on approach and are obviously passionate about the project and attuned to the needs and aspirations of your users, a recipe for success if i ever saw one! Good luck with it.</description>

		<description>Thanks for Broadening the Discussion about BlogCatalog as a blogger&#039;s social network.

All blogs submitted since the beginning of February, when we acquired the BlogCatalog directory,  have been reviewed by a human for admission.  There are still many blogs in the index that haven&#039;t been reviewed. We will get to those over time. :)

Unlike other blogger communities,  we see plenty of on-blog opportunities for non bloggesr to communicate with bloggers.   So we made the decision to make BlogCatalog an Exclusive blogger community.  The price of admission is to have a &quot;quality&quot; blog.   

Community building,  is our core focus.  The question we are asking is how we can increase community interaction.    

Your suggestions to deepen community interraction by providing bloggers with the tools to form more tightly defined conversations is great and will fit in well with the newly launched forums.   

We discussed this idea after reading your post and should be able to launch Neighborhood Based Forums within the next week or two.
