So this is something they're exccited about, both the event and supporting the charities. Personally I think it's amazing that they organized this almost entirely on their own, but also that so many blogs are participating (since blogging hourly for an entire day is NOT easy, from experience!). So my hats (I'm wearing 3 right now) go off to our bloggers. And, in case it wasn't obvious, given that it's our bloggers that generated this, it's not a publicity stunt. It's just an excitement thing :) Just as a note, this was dreamed up entirely by our bloggers and CEs, and wasn’t something b5 pushed (not sure it would have worked if we had!).

The biggest motivator for the Great Blog Off event is to give our bloggers something to work toward, especially as summer heats up and slows most other things down. Just seems fair that with this goal in mind we also give something back. :-) Hey Thord,
