What exactly is a "viral blog"?
#2 blog on July 03, 2010 at 5:28 PM
Viral just means something that spreads rapidly via social media (facebook, twitter, etc)

Cool site. I'm not really into viral marketing, I just want to write thoughts and opinions and share random things for fun. I guess this is also a great site to share my articles. More Power!

Aaron,

Aren't you worried about offering the free blog platform after what happened with Blogetry? Scary to imagine that happening after amassing 73,000 individual blogs.

Kathy,

Reading the news on Blogetery right now. It sounds like they did not have any self-policing system in place.

We are building blogReaction with controls in place. Every post, just like comments, gets sent through multiple anti-spam and anti-malicious filters. If they pass those filters, they are then places on temporary acceptance and will be reviewed by other members of the community or by staff. Any post that violates our policy or is deemed too offensive for a PG-related site can be flagged and reported.

If such a system is in place, then there would be a reasonable amount of time to take action before ever having to worry about being shut down. Something tells me that Blogetery was not responsive to law enforcements requests to comply with subpoenas. It's very unusual that feds would take this action unless they were uncooperative to an investigation.

The news stories I see also cite that they had previous unresolved abuse complaints.

I am not worried at all offering a service like this. It carries the same risk as Blogger.com and Wordpress.com, but actually includes more controls for the community to report inappropriate content.

Thanks for the comment and let's hope we can create a great community without these types of abuse complaints.

I think it's great that you are offering this service for free. This opens the door for others to join a community of bloggers where thoughts and ideas can be shared.

Sometimes these free blog platform providers need to think that it is a long and exhausted thing to face. Bandwidth and web space are two of the most common problems one can encounter in providing free blogs. Hope this one don't turn out like what other blogging platform had done after realizing it takes a lot of resources than projected.

James,

Web space is not an issue as the blogReaction source code is under 200KB and all images are hosted externally (yes.. even one's uploaded for display in posts). Bandwidth is becoming cheaper and unmetered servers are becoming more common.

I'm not too worried about blogReaction as I personally have experience with setting up clusters for web sites that receive millions of unique visitors each day, and most of those clusters are utilizing less than 10% of CPU, RAM, Disk space, and Bandwidth available.

Thanks for the comment and we'll see how it goes :)
