    In case, you're interested to know. BlogRush died, and here is their last will of testament courtesy of Blog Herald post - RIP BlogRush (2007 ~ 2008).

    My deepest condolences....

    I just saw the story on John Chow's blog also. Yeap, BlogRush is gone - I am looking forward to blogs loading much quicker now!

    My guess is that EntreCard is on its way out also.

    Good riddance to both of them. They never really did anything for the blogosphere except mess it up anyway.:p

    Never liked BlogRush.

    Atleast this gives one less thing to try out for new bloggers now !

    I gave BlogRush a try a few months ago and to be truly honest, the traffic was never even visible. In my opinion the whole blog movement is on its way out the door anyway...

    Never tried the service myself although I heard that it worked for a time. Sorry to hear about its demise.

    Some bloggers say that it lacked appeal for the low profile bloggers, and Entrecard came in to catch them. Just hope this will not happen to EC, although I am not a member anymore.

    how was this site so popular, Blogrush is only 248,653 Alexa thats not great at all. If this was really on all the blogs shouldn't it be like 20K or something?

    I agree that Entrecard is going down the drain as well...

    And Blogrush was out a LONG time ago... it just officially went out of business as of late. :p

    I am once rejected by BlogRush, so I don't care much about them after that ;)

    But it is a sad moment to hear them shutting down

    It was a short-lived fad, sad to see it go.
