Six Apart Launches Blogs.com for Discovering Premium Content on the Web

Blog Destination Site Connects Readers With the Best Bloggers on the Hottest Topics

SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(EMWNews – August 18, 2008) – Six

Apart, the world’s leading blogging software and services company,

announced today the launch of Blogs.com, a

destination website that connects readers with the best blogs on a wide

array of topics. In order to ensure the highest quality content, Blogs.com

relies on a team of passionate editors to choose blogs based on their

quality, popularity and relevance. In addition, daily editorials and a

weekly newsletter provide readers with a convenient round-up of the latest

buzz in the blogosphere.

“Blogs.com is the place to go for anyone

who wants a fast, easy way to find the best blogs,” said Mena Trott,

Co-Founder and President of Six Apart. “Six Apart is a company founded by

bloggers, for bloggers, so we’re excited to help guide people to great

blogs on anything and everything from gardening to gadgets, politics to

pets, and everything else good about blogs.”

The simple, streamlined Blogs.com design makes it easy for people to find

and share well-written and relevant posts in blogs with audiences of all

sizes. By organizing the top blogs in one place, Blogs.com helps all

readers, including those who are new to blogs, discover the best blogs on a

range of topics including Life, Entertainment, Technology, News & Politics,

Business, as well as seasonal topics like Student Life. Readers who are

looking for the top blogs in specific categories, such as nutrition or

iPhones, will find what they are looking for in one of many top ten lists

organized by topic.

“Six Apart is committed to making bloggers successful,” said David Tokheim,

EVP and GM of Media at Six Apart. “With so many blogs created every day, we

want to help readers discover the must-read blogs, as well as help bloggers

connect with new readers. Blogs.com does just that.”

Blogs.com also benefits bloggers by providing them with traffic,

recognition and links to the top bloggers and best content. Bloggers and

readers will also enjoy Guest Editor featured editorials and top ten lists

written by some of the most influential people on the web, including

Craigslist founder Craig Newmark and Chris Anderson, editor in chief of

Wired magazine. A partnership with Voxant provides readers with free access

to premium licensed video content from sources such as AP, Reuters, CNN,

BBC etc., while a partnership with Clearspring makes it easy for readers to

share blog posts via email, posts to their personal blogs, or their

favorite social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, and Bebo.

Blogs.com replaces Rojo.com, the blog aggregation site Six Apart acquired

in 2006, and the popular Week in Rojo email newsletter will reinvent itself

as the Blogs.com newsletter.
