Post On Fire

Unlike other social bookmarking PostOnFire.com allows you to bookmark your own blog entry. For as long as it is quality posting. They have their users to fire you or heat up and vote on your posting or extinguish it, so bloggers ought to be careful and cautious with their submissions.

I just observed that their blog is not navigable, it took me several minutes to find out about them or the link to their blog so I quoted them here extensively so to give you readers a comprehensive background. This entry is linked to their blog so you can find this it out for yourselves.

What caught me about them is their contest that award entrecard points. I am entrecard craze these days since it is driving visitors to my blog so I am keeping up with the goings on at entrecard. So this motivates me to make a review about postonfire. They have the contest mechanics found below.

Bloggers promote bloggers. Their fellow bloggers are their own marketing arms and at the same time consumers. The amazing reciprocity among bloggers is making themselves ever networked. I find it cool to see myself in a bloggers widget and in the ad button. This is the principle that is presently governing bloggers a “click-of-mouse” spread of information as opposed to the word-of-mouth marketing strategy. And postonfire is keeping up the flame to network bloggers and promote their services the un-tradtional way with their contest. After all bloggers are their own keepers.

It can be observed that in the blogosphere there are so many contests that are initiated by bloggers and it is meant also to award or recognize their fellow bloggers effort. And these buttons and icons are proudly displayed in the winner’s blogsites. Even if the blog is nominated it is good enough as a blog décor and boost one’s blog morale. Writing or blogging for that matter is a lonely job. As Paulo Coleho would say it is the writer’s dream to be read (translate that to - it is the blogger’s desire to be commented on or it is the blogger’s dream to be awarded a blog prize?).

Postonfire will remain aflame if bloggers remain hot with the unique service it will offer.

PostOnFire community is growing rapidly, bloggers everywhere love the idea of voting & submitting blog posts. Without any launch-day promotion, we have several hundred users, thousands of link submission & votes.

And that’s only in less than 2 months.

Now is the time to have a contest and spread the word about PostOnFire.
