BlogCatalog.com - Blog Directory and Search Engine

If you´re looking for a blog directory that offers more than just a listing of what´s out there organized into categories, check out BlogCatalog.com. The site does list blogs by category, but there´s a lot more going on. Each blog has its own page which states general data on the blog and its tags, as well as statistics such as its ranking, views, and hits. You can see who´s recently viewed the blog and which members are in the blog´s “neighborhood”, similar to how MyBlogLog does it. They also recommend related sites that you might like based on your choice, a listing of the most recent posts, and a spot for readers to comment and rate what they think. This and their discussions section of the site help to make BlogCatalog feel like a community. The discussion section is basically a better looking forum that is broken down into blogging help, making money, introducing yourself, shameless plugging of users´ blogs, and the general topics. This is a useful tool for anyone searching for new and worthwhile blogs to check out, or a place to promote their own blog and make friends with other bloggers.
