Just this morning I logged on to my free account at Blogrush to check on my visitor stats. Just a few minutes ago, I checked my email, and there was this notification from Blogrush that it was shutting down. I just checked, and there was nothing there but the same notice of closure.
I had subscribed to blogrush just a month ago, and it did bring in a few visitors to my blog. It makes me feel sad that it had to shut down. I liked the service. Very simple presentation, and it did give me a good insight as to which topics/topic titles brought in visits from the target audience. That's the thing that I liked about it - my blog was being promoted to a specific segment of blogosphere.
I wish they had at least given their subscribers enough warning time. As it is, I failed to save any of the stats I had there. I'll bet some of my blogging friends who also subscribed to blogrush still don't know about it.
And with the notification did I learn that Blogrush was owned by John Reese of Tweeter. Maybe it's time to follow tweeter.

hello again
first off , fb is facebook
john has a fan page there where he usually adds new info for his friends
but twitter and income.com are most likely your best bet to get the scoop from john

I'm so sorry that BlogRush shut down! I had no idea! I had a friend who blogged on their - and that really sucks! Sorry to put it that way, but it does. Thankfully I have stuck with Blogger - but most definitely prefer Word Press or Motime. But that's my personal opinion. Once again, so sorry to hear what happened to you and blogrush! Hope you continue to blog
