CliqIn
CliqIn is a new service which allows you to create your own blogging communities. You create a “Cliq”, give it a topic, and then invite existing blogs to join your Cliq. You’re then given a widget to publish on your blog, and the widget will show you the headlines from the latest posts of bloggers in your Cliq. Make sense? I joined CliqIn after seeing their booth at Blog World Expo, and I thought I’d give the system a whirl by joining a group about “animal rescue” bloggers, or “cat bloggers”, or something, but there weren’t any! So, I created my own group, just called “Pet Bloggers”. I set it to “Private” so I’d have to approve memberships, only because I think the system is ripe to be used for spam or other nasty business.
If something like this interests you, please check it out. If it really interests you, please tell me and I’ll give management of the group to you. I really don’t need any more activities in my day, but wanted to join to see if the system had any social media marketing implications. It might be fun to easily see what other pet bloggers are up to, however. I kind of like the widget, but it’s sad with just me in it:

Whoops, that won’t show up in a blog entry, as it’s Javascript. I’ll put it in my sidebar, and then I’m going to bed!
