Crazyness! The 2000 Blogger experiment (which has a new home) is really giving my little blog some coverage, despite the fact that no one probably reads this stuff.
Today I just received an email from Jean-Baptiste Rudelle, CEO of Criteo, a Paris based company, about their widget, AutoRoll.
Well, I work for a Web Ad/Marketing company, so I'm not going to lie, I've been guilty of sending a few of these to bloggers (hopefully, they thought they were useful rather than spammy!). But I'm wondering if other people felt as giddy as I did to get my first one! Yay for recognition!
So before I checked out their product, I did some research, and as I figured, it seems like they are targeting the 2000 blogger list based on some of the blog posts I've found on the Intraweb.
I just signed up for AutoRoll(beta) and MyBlogLog. A quick comparison:
AutoRoll vs. MyBlogLog
Sign up: Sign ups were easy, and painless.
Widget Configuration: AutoRoll beat the pants out of MyBlogLog. They let you at least enter the values for the widget without making you pain through the javascript embed or giving you a hack stylesheet to put on the site's template. Props.
Widget Installation: I had problems getting MyBlogLog to look like what I want the first time and I'm still pissed at that. Adding the widget was simple enough, editing it was a pain. Then there were the other added most popular link tracker and such for MyBlogLog, ugh, after trying to get it to the color scheme of the site for 5 minutes I just said "Delete."
Functionality: So AutoRoll actually comes with links. Good? Bad? Well, it states on their site that it might take a few days for links on AutoRoll to actually be relevant on the site. Let's see if it works. MyBlogLog apparently will lose the tracker ability in 3 days unless I upgrade to MyBlogLog Pro... WTF, mate. Well, it's not like I would use their site for that functionality anyways.
This post is getting to be rather big, so I'll stop here, let's see how they compare in the next few days.
