Facibus On Blogging

Metablogging or blogging on blogging is the niche of this blog and On Blogging Australia. Just in case you hadn’t noticed - I like metablogging

I keep running into a problem recently. I go to join some social networking platform or advertising/linksharing network and they ask me for a category for my blog or blog post. It is getting beyond a joke. In the last week I’ve run into this problem with Commission Monster and Entrecard, and previously with BlogRush and Digg.

Categorisation is not rocket science - it is something that I do fairly often in my own consulting work day - and there are some fairly well established principles for creating a categorisation scheme that works for just about everybody.

Technorati records 1,323 uses of the term “metablogging” and Google records approximately 139,000. It isn’t going away.

So this is my plea, to owners of ad programs and social networking platforms everywhere - get someone who knows what they are doing to create a categorisation scheme that suits your audience.
