Blogs are Evolving? The new generation of blogs

    I have always been a fan of blogs since they first appeared on the Internet, but since then, they really haven’t changed very much at all. We all know the big blog companies, Blogger, Wordpress, etc but all in all, they basically offer the same features; blog, comment, blog, comment. Obviously not that impressive with the growing demands of today’s Internet users.

    I have a real treat for you bloggers out there.

    Then there came Blogonize.com.

    This sexy babe is a new, exciting blog host with features that I never thought were even possible. Among it’s many unique features, there’s a function that lets you convert your posts from text to audio so your readers can become listeners. It uses AJAX technology so you can post, edit, etc without reloading the page. It even has a feature that allows your blog entries to be showcased on a “Hot page” where posts are displayed based upon users’ ratings. All this and stuff like WYSIWYG editors, traffic graphs, etc are included in one package. This is the future of blogs. This is today's news people.

    I registered for my own account and tested a few things out. I’m definitely impressed. Apparently, they don’t force advertisements onto your blog at all, which was really surprising since I have no idea how they make money to cover the development costs (there’s no advertisements, ANYWHERE. Even on the site itself). Anyways, if you haven’t already, be sure to check them out:

    Here are a few of it’s ‘competitors’ so you may compare the feature list: http://www.blogger.com, www.vox.com. You’ll see the difference ;).

    Till next time..

    I'm probably gonna move my blog over there hehe.

    Register while you still can folks. I don't think they'll stay 'free' for long.
