Since I now have my own blog (which no one is reading) I wanted to share some of my favourite blogs (with no one). These are what I wake up to in the morning:

Joystiq - I love me some video games
Engaged - I also love anything electronic
Kotaku - More video games.  Sorry wifey.
Gizmodo - And yet, more electronics…sense a theme?
Stuff White People Like - Since I love the show “The Wire”, I speak three languages and love my dog, I am the prototypical SWPL reader. It’s actually scary how accurate they are.
Gilbert Arenas blog - Too honest and too funny. Needs to be updated more often though.
Slam Online - My source for everything basketball.
Blog Maverick - I don’t agree with everything, but it’s always entertaining.
Mashable - Social media made easy.
IntelliBriefs - A great political blog. Very good read.

If you have some other great blogs which I’m missing, let me know.  I can always wake up 30 minutes earlier.

So I’m trying to figure out how best to get the word out on Commuto.  In the past we have received some great publicity from sites like Cnet, Mashable, Daily Candy and many others, but lately, nothing.  People have been joining, but it’s a slow process and I need to get the word out quicker.

I have done the SEO work, but it seems like it needs to be improved.  But aside from the SEO, what’s the best means of attracting attention?  A viral video, contests, social media, what?  We have added a Facebook application, a widget, etc, but we need something else.  I know Commuto is a great service, and can be really useful for many people, but I just need to make them aware of it.

I would love to get some opinion going on this.  If you have any great ideas please share them.  I am looking for a full/part time PR/Marketing person and maybe that’s you.  Please feel free to comment or email your ideas to sarbib@commuto.com.

I hope to hear from you, and possibly work with you in the future.

Thanks,

Stephen
