BookVideoTV, BookTelevision and of course CSPAN, but I like how BN.com and Reader's Entertainment TV have specific genre channels and original shows. There's just more to see and I can be specific in what genre I'm interested in. Anyone else watch online tv? <A HREF="http://www.readersentertainment.tv" REL="nofollow"> Reader's Entertainment</A>jchapelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103825052395803361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30489905.post-34907038555509697982008-04-02T12:14:00.000+01:002008-04-02T12:14:00.000+01:00I agree in principle.

Alltop is pretty OK as the link gives you enough information to allow you to decide to follow it or not, but is not really a solution for reading all the posts.<BR/><BR/>What you have to do is write engaging content to draw people to your own site (maybe suggesting attractive links in the sidebar or comments section)Robert McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384607673163426191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30489905.post-88183154739685465702008-04-02T11:21:00.000+01:002008-04-02T11:21:00.000+01:00There's another issue with alltop* and othere like...There's another issue with alltop* and othere like it. Because they are just as likely to <B>stop</B> people coming to your blog as to direct people to it.<BR/><BR/>Just hover over a headline and you can read most and often all the post without following the link.<BR/><BR/>Are these aggregators good for bloggers? The aggregator basically gets free content that they can wrap their adverts around. Your adverts sit unread, no one comes to post comments. <BR/><BR/><BR/>*alltop is not the worst, there are others that take the entire posting but alltop does take a substantial chunkPeter F May https://www.blogger.com/profile/09879434167757517648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30489905.post-21555759564620361702008-04-01T18:56:00.000+01:002008-04-01T18:56:00.000+01:00thanks Peter - I have been here before but had for...thanks Peter - I have been here before but had forgotten about it<BR/><BR/>too many sites to follow!!Robert McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384607673163426191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30489905.post-22858724896101019822008-04-01T18:26:00.000+01:002008-04-01T18:26:00.000+01:00I use http://food.feedreel.co.uk/drink/drink-blog-...I use http://food.feedreel.co.uk/drink/drink-blog-posts/<BR/> which lists UK wine blog updatesPeter F May https://www.blogger.com/profile/09879434167757517648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30489905.post-5998299810745613742008-03-27T20:30:00.000+00:002008-03-27T20:30:00.000+00:00Hi Wine Culture,My name is Shannon and I'm the edi...Hi Wine Culture,<BR/><BR/>My name is Shannon and I'm the editorial assistant at Foodbuzz.com.
