Jayne, thanks for commenting. I think the difference in the hype was that BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog were never specifically touted as a way to get free traffic through a pyramid scheme. BlogRush’s appeal is entirely selfish: get free traffic. None of these widgets are really of any benefit to your readers. I don’t have any of them.

I’m a little surprised that everyone got this excited over BlogRush anyway. In the end, it’s just a new “BlogCatalog” or “MyBlogLog” except that you get credit for your own blog’s activity and signing other people up.

I use both those communities, and for different reasons, but neither of them is much of a traffic draw when compared to other methods I use daily.
