Blogapalooza 2009
Early in 2008 Robert Hruzek invented Blogapalooza – a way to celebrate bloggers’ best posts of the year.
This January he did it again. I don’t have a clue how he managed, but Robert Hruzek was able to get 128 posts from 128 different bloggers live over a couple of weeks in early January.
Here’s a much-belated post on all of those posts, and all of those bloggers …

John,
Thanks for posting this list and linking to our Blogapalooza posts and our blogs! Robert’s WILF projects are always meaningful, and his Blogapalooza brainchild is especially so!
Thanks again!

Found this site almost by accident and now discovering the great content here – thanks!
I found out about Blogapalooza from Twitter. The retweet chain was very strong and fast… I jumped on the train within the first week and was featured during the last week… it was a great force of networking and I am enjoying all the great blogs I discovered!
John,
This type of networking is what social media at its best is about. Thank you for the inclusion. Positive begets positive!
Thanks for participating, John! It was a blast, wasn’t it? Can’t wait to see what happens next year!
Tip o’ the hat to ya, Bubba!
Thanks for the link, and it is great to see everyone picking up on the interesting posts and concept of Blogapalooza!
