Carnival Buzz

We can tell from the uptick in our traffic today that the Wall Street Journal linked to Blog Carnival. But we don't have a subscription, so we can't see what the fuss is about.

If you have a WSJ subscription, leave a comment and let us know what we missed.

Thanks!

UPDATE

Here are the relevant paragraphs from the WSJ online article How to Get Attention In a New-Media World:

Another avenue worth exploring is blog carnivals, which operate a bit like conferences or magazines in that they put together a lot of information on a particular topic in one place -- in this case, someone's blog.

Like magazines, editions of carnivals come out on a regular basis, are hosted by a revolving cast of volunteer editors and contain links to contributions submitted. To find carnivals and make submissions, bloggers often tap blogcarnival.com. For small-business owners new to blogging, accessing carnivals can help find a community of people interested in the same topics, says Lena West, founder and CEO of xynoMedia Technology, which sells an online course called the Technology Diet that helps businesses with online PR.

"These are a way to get PR for your blog and for other people to get PR for theirs," Ms. West says.

Tip of the hat to Glenn Reynolds.
