I’m a bit late in sharing the news in my personal blog, as this has been announced at b5media about 2 days ago. And, I made the announcement over at About Weblogs shortly after. I also wrote about some background/behind-the-scenes stuff at AW, especially in connection with 9rules.
The short form of it: I’m very excited about the whole deal. Not only do I get to work as a partner with great bloggers like Darren (ProBlogger.net), Duncan (BlogHerald.com), and Jeremy (ensight.org), I also get to work alongside some really cool bloggers over at b5media. And, of course, most of the About Weblogs team is part of the whole thing too.
Here’s what some of my new b5 family have to say:
From My Partners:
From About Weblogs Bloggers:
- Christina (Beauty Blog; Birthday Blog) - here, here and here
- Lei (Genetics/Public Health Blog; Kids Blog) - over at Cottontimer
- Krissy (Performing Arts Blog) - at Speckblog
- Ruth (Asia Travel Blog) - at Transposable Elements
- Glo (Philippine Culture) - at DaragangMagayon
- AnP/Melissa (Discount Travel Europe Blog) - at PinoyTechBlog and over at PinayExpat
- Christine (Scrapbooking Blog, Weddings & Honeymoons Blog) - blogged about it at her AW blog
- Maricar (Housekeeping/Homemaking Blog) - blogged about it Mom@Home
- Stef (Asian Food) - mentioned it at Stefoodie.net
- Heather (Journal Writing) - blogged about the changes over at her AW blog
From Existing b5ers:

Hi Shai,
I actually mentioned it in my blog, too. I can’t access my blog right at this moment, for some reason, but it’s the entry called Noting the Changes. This certainly is causing quite a stir.

Hi Shai,
Congrats on the merger with b5Media. I’m sure you’ll see a nice boost in traffic. I decided to blog surf a bit tonight and came to your blog by way of Liz’s Successful Blog.
