The day you have all been waiting for has finally arrived. BlogBurst went live today on many of our lighthouse publisher partner web sites. SFGate.com is showing travel blogs, as are the Austin American Statesman and San Antonio Express News. The Statesman is also branching out to other parts of their site to use BlogBurst blogger content in their sports section and life - style and home decor section, where you can find blogs on home improvement and fashion. Houston Chronicle is displaying some of the tech blogs in our network, and it doesn’t stop there. Even local papers, such as the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier (Iowa) and the Santa Maria Times (California), both part of the Lee Enterprises family of papers, as well as the Gannett papers, including the Des Moines Register and Phoenix’s Arizona Republic, are currently testing BlogBurst blogger content on their sites.

Of course, we could not have done any of this without your blogs and your willingness to participate in the BlogBurst network. We raise a virtual toast (imagine the Pluck BlogBurst team of editors, managers, developers and marketers holding up large frosty mugs of Shiner beer) to all of you for helping us get to today’s launch and beyond.

We are now in a position to begin tracking and reporting blogger pick up by publishers, as well as to promote more topical blogs to more content areas of publisher sites. So, we should start seeing a larger variety of blogger syndication in the coming weeks and months. We will also be rolling out more publisher partners and begin displaying your blogs on more of our current partners who are gearing up to start the service, including Washingtonpost.com and Parade Magazine.  So keep up the good blogging and we will continue to take your feedback to improve the service.

What is BlogBurst?
BlogBurst is a syndication service that places your blog content on top-tier online destinations. You get visibility, audience reach and increased traffic, while publishers get a wide range of new coverage to broaden their reach and increase page views.
How does it work?
Once you're accepted into the BlogBurst network, just keep blogging as usual. Then, each time one of our publishers picks up your content, you'll reach a whole new audience — and your byline link will drive traffic to your blog.

Pluck's BlogBurst network is an opt-in aggregation and syndication service that brings high-quality, topical blogs together with high-traffic web sites. With BlogBurst, bloggers gain visibility, audience reach and traffic through placement on major online publishers and media destinations in real time.
