451 Press dubs itself as the largest blog network
July 31, 2007 | By Minic Rivera | Filed Under Blog Networks, News
451 Press today dubbed itself as the largest blog network with 329 daily blogs published on a variety of entertainment and “edutainment” related topics. It also boasts of having 10 million visitors per month.
In order to give visitors a better sense of what blogs are being written and what topics they’re touching on, 451 has added a blog aggregator to its home page. Visitors can now see content as its published without having to check individual blogs for new content.
“We’re excited to see the network grow and expand so quickly. Our sites are doing great, and we owe that in large part to the great team of bloggers who’ve made the network what it is,” Steve Shickles, president of 451 Press, said.
451Press.com launched in September of 2006 with 10 blogs.

Do You Tag Yourself?May 16, 2008 | By Lorelle VanFossen | 2 Comments
Do you tag yourself? Honestly? No, this is not a game.
With everyone back on the tag versus categories versus tags bandwagon, have you checked to make sure you are tagging yourself?
Inside of Lorelle on WordPress is the tag attribute that turns “Lorelle on WordPress” into a tag.

A BIG Reason to Read a Pet’s Blog
May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment
I’ve often taken a snarky approach when it comes to people who set up blogs for their pets. I barely want to read about humans’ mundane lives, let alone issues with litter and pooper scoopers. However, there might be a new reason to subscribe to Lucky, Fido or Buddy’s blog.
Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]
Yahoo Nabs Safari Plugin Inquisitor
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment
Inquisitor is a cool plugin for Safari, and now Yahoo owns it. The developer, David Watanabe, won’t be joining Yahoo, but will continue the development.
I look forward to assisting Yahoo! in refining and extending the Inquisitor user experience beyond where it is today. I truly believe that Inquisitor and its users can only benefit, both […]

Now you can get some more statistics for your YouTube videos, with the recently launched Insight tool, available in your YouTube account (under Manage my Videos, which is probably temporary). The new stats feature is described like this by Tracy Chan, YouTube product manager:
For example, uploaders can see how often their videos are viewed in […]
Google the New Number 1 in the US
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment
I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:
According to comScore, Google’s unique U.S. audience in April was 141.1 million, an 18 percent increase from the same […]
Blogging from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment
Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself. What’s even cooler is that she’s blogging it, talking about rocketships in voice and text, as well as posting photos, something every space nerd should follow for sure. Her blog is Geosteph, which incidentally is her Twitter […]

Agreed with Mike Rundle on this.
It’s a shame 451press wants to stress quantity over quality. Most of their bloggers earn less than $1 per month. PER MONTH! The equivalent of slave wages. They would do better to focus on doing more to promote their existing blogs, becoming better organizers, bringing in more advertisers and working on ways to pay their employees more money rather than buy up new domains and start new blogs.
There’s a reason the turnover rate is so high at 451 Press!
Less than a dollar a month? That’s funny. I make over $200 a month with my blog. Many of my fellow writers make good money too. Former 451 Press blogger is probably one of the ones who got fired for not posting regularly and/or poor quality.
