[...] BlogBurst is a service that makes content from a pre-screened group of blogs available to a network of publishers, including the likes of USA Today and Reuters. We signed The Bivings Report up with BlogBurst right when it launched in May in an effort to get more folks to read our content. Since then we’ve had a few stories picked up by Reuters, which has generated a lot of headline views (around 850,000) and a modest number of post views (around 1,500). [...]

Our website Medgadget.com (usually a quiet place to learn about the
latest medical technologies) has been investigating a new service from
Pluck, called BlogBurst. We have learned and revealed a number of
questionable practices by the company – from republishing entire
contents of bloggers on newspaper sites to deeplinking images from
bloggers and innocent bystander websites. The most outrageous thing is
that some of the nations’ leading newspapers, including the San
Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News, and
the Austin American-Statesman, are engaged in the deeplinking and
republishing for profit.

Please spread the message! It is time for us, bloggers, to say that we
value and respect our work.

Examples of main newspapers deep linking images off bloggers and third parties:

[...] BlogBurst, a content syndication service that provides blogs with exposure on major online publisher sites, has recently launched. I personally love what BlogBurst is doing, although there are others that have mixed feelings about the service. BlogBurst provides syndicated blog content to mainstream publishers (such as Washington Post, SF Gate, and the Houston Chronicle) for a fee while blog owners signup and, if accepted, get their content exposure on these mainstream sites. At this point, some of you may be thinking: I give BlogBurst my content to put on a publishers site while they collect on the money, and in turn gives me some exposure? It sounds one-sided and is reasonable to think this, but that is not all. First off, BlogBurst clearly credits all of your content with a link and graphic linking directly to your blog at the top of each post on a mainstream publisher. BlogBurst’s Dave Panos has also said that there will be some kind of compensation for bloggers, but not during the “lighthouse period.” Furthermore, the reason I started blogging in the first place is for my voice to be heard and BlogBurst is definitely helping bloggers accomplish this.

Yahoo has a beta blogs service that syndicates blog results alongside of the news listings. It provides a nice means of traffic and sends visitors directly to my site through a permalink and gives full credit to my blog.

It took a while to get accepted by their beta service, but it was worth it.

One of the buzzwords from the technology/venture capital playpen that always makes me crack up laughing is “aggregation play.” This means, basically, mushing together a whole bunch of stuff, like a four year-old with a pile of Pla-Do, and s…

Several Know More Media authors have been accepted into the BlogBurst program and we’re excited to see what happens with it. I think it should provide a good, if not earth-shattering, source of healthy, relevant exposure for us.

I absolutely agree. Blogburst picked up RealTravel’s travel blog and travel photo of the day. The people at Blogburst have been fantastic and the response has been great.

I’m one of the bloggers who got invited to join BlogBurst. The editor I work with over there is very cool. I look forward to seeing what results pan out from the experience. So far, it seems like a great opportunity for a blogger to get wider exposure, and for the newspapers to get interesting content.

Could syndicating blog content to MSM be replicated? Sure.

But, the earlier poster may have overlooked a couple of things. First, the BlogBurst workbench which gives MSM editors tools for prioritzing, packaging and generally evaluating the participating blog material. Two, there does appear to be a vetting process, not every blog gets included in BlogBurst, but the selection is more subjective adding a new dimension to the ranking and rating of blog posts. Finally, if the workbench tools aggregate up the rankings/ratings of all of editorial teams using this content, then there is almost an experts panel to vet the best of blog travel writing, or the best of tech reviews, or opinion,…

>>>BlogBurst helps these mainstream publishers add more targeted content to their sites at a much lower cost than producing the content themselves.

Mike, can’t the MSM create such sections for free? Or perhaps take the feed from TopTenSources or similar sites? It is definitely interesting since the blogosphere surfaces the important and valuable news advice much faster, but the IP of such a play seems thin if they provide this for a fee. A service that provides it free, and instead relies on advertising embedded in the feed then the company that has the best biz dev/sales team might take a strong lead.
