Brewed Fresh Daily

Perhaps you remember the original concept of Blogcritics.org: "free CDs for bloggers." Blogcritics (515 members, 17,000 entries, 70,000 comments) celebrates its 2nd anniversary in August, and as it turned out, we were way ahead of our time: the concept that record companies, DVD distributors, book publishers, etc would provide review material for bloggers was met with slack jaws from the companies, who barely knew what blogs were, let alone saw them as valuable marketing outlets. Now things have changed - blogs are hot, people are aware of them. We have a system in place whereby review material from dozens of labels, publicists, publishers, concert promoters, DVD distributors, movie studios, etc are now available to our members, free of charge. We only ask that they be reviewed. Our review material database has almost 500 items listed and only about half of them have been claimed by our members. New material is added daily. We truly now do provide "free stuff for bloggers." We are actively looking to increase our membership. We would love for you to join Blogcritics and/or tell your readers about our new review material program. Free stuff is good - everyone wins. More info on the program and joining Blogcritics here. We have also added a special Election 2004 section, where we will collect our ongoing, omni-partisan election coverage. If you haven't checked out Blogcritics in a while, now would be a great time. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you, Eric Olsen
