Finding all the cool pet blogs over at Alltop

In between business and family, I try to keep up with what the cool kids are up to in cyberspace (or the interweb as some of my favorite mommy blogs tell it - that always cracks me up!).

Goodness knows, there's about 5 mins between mouthfuls of lunch where I can fit my roaming in, but about a month ago, I discovered one of the newest and useful websites Alltop. Alltop is a service I'd wished I'd had 5 years ago when I was asking everyone where all the good pet blogs were but no-one knew. Darn it, I just had to find them all by myself. Bah humbug!

Alltop, launched by Guy Kawasaki, is a site that categorizes and lists some of the more interesting blogs in a particular category. So if you wanted to find your own favorite mommy blogs but don't know where to start, you can go to the mom alltop category (and even if you do know where to start, there's bound to be one or two you weren't aware of.)

Or you had a hankering to follow all things to do with Gadgets, search no more - the gadget category is here...

You get the idea...

So, when I went to check out that pet category, I was aghast - there wasn't one! So with a quick email to some of my most respected pet bloggers, I pulled together a list of candidates and winged them off to Guy who kindly humored me and put them all up - woohoo!

So now you have it - the pet alltop category. Enjoy the list; there are some really good pet blogs in there.

Many thanks to Gina, Yvonne, Theresa, and Patty for helping out. I think we put together a pretty good list to kick things off.

What other pet blogs do you think should be added?

Thank you so much to whoever included my blog (Best in Flock)!

We really appreciate your initiative in putting together the Pet category and to remedy that very important oversight ;)

I'd also like to nominate my friends at http://PetKnows.com for inclusion.

Thanks!

Alltop is the best! It's a one-stop place to get pet info and business info and travel info and just about everything. I am so excited to have my little petblog included! Thanks for the shout-out, Laura. We pet people need to stick together. Woof!

So...how does a blog get to be on that list? Who makes the decision as to what is an AllTop Blog?

[Laura]

Daniel, I seeded the category to get it started so if you want to propose blogs to be added, just email info@alltop.com with your suggestions.

There's a FAQ section that covers how the blogs are chosen etc. at http://alltop.com/about/
