I had an email from Amy at blogged saying that they rated OpenGardens blog 8/10. Often this is a good way to get attention - so I was a bit sceptical at first. Still I had a look at blogged.com And I liked it .. Not because they rate me 8/10 :) .. and techcrunch has a mixed review(but some comments are positive) .. But there is a more subtle reason .. And at first I struggled to find it .. and the best way I can express it is by saying that it does one thing very well. A good list of blogs is indeed valuable .. and although it exists in other places on the web(technorati and mybloglog for example) .. I like the simplicity and scope of this site along with a singular focus. Certainly a valuable resource ..
