Instablogs launches

New blogging network Instablogs has launched with 46 blogs, although many without content, and several hours late.

Unfortunately for the new network owners, the new network has been received poorly, with a number of bloggers writing negative reviews. Darren at Problogger has some suggestions for the new network. Blognetworkwatch provides some negative commentary over the late launch and also provides comments from the Instablog site including comments such as “Instablogs is the biggest blunder in the whole blog industry” .

Certainly launching with empty blogs doesn’t really work for me as a model and maybe its a case of too much, too soon to? I’d also think that the use of .org domains isn’t particularly wise as well. Time will tell.

  • Hopefully their post launch template will be better than the one they had prelaunch. It was a shocker with posts appearing in random order it seemed without any logical reason why. Hopefully they will use a spell checker a bit more too!

  • I think people have to consider that this is not a big corporation launching this blog network, but a young woman (and her new husband) from India.

    I think people really should respect that and give her the credit she really deserves.

    I got tears in my eyes, thats how proud I am. Good luck, Nandini!

    I still thinks its bit harsh, but I leave it you guys to decide… :)

    We have employed few .org domains, well we had options to choose either hyphenated names or have to go with some other extensions. I choose later, because in the end it will be the content which will matter.

    We are not ProBloggers like you guys are, just working our way slowly… We hope we build something which are readers can enjoy.
