I agree 100% with all you've said. I think a very interesting blog-hop would be to have all the participants write a post about who they follow and why, and also what they do when they find they have new followers.<br />I'm bummed I missed the origins blogfest. I'd planned to join...but the A-Z hosting gig is priority right now. <br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tina @ Life is Good</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">Co-Host of the April 2012 Blogging from A to Z Challenge</a><br /><br />Twitter: <br />@AprilA2Z<br /> #atozchallengeTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-13745254668408510372012-02-19T10:08:51.136-05:002012-02-19T10:08:51.136-05:00Ack, I tried to comment, but it said it had to be ...Ack, I tried to comment, but it said it had to be approved first.

I'm doing the A to Z this year so I hope I can meet all kinds of new folks there. Also doing Rachel Harrie's latest Platform building Campaign. Not sure what to expect from that. I can't imagine getting 50 new followers all at once, let alone 350 or 600! WOWZA!!
