I received an email recently letting me know that Snowboarding Days has been rated on the blog directory blogged. As of now, I’m currently in the top 10 of the snowboarding category, which is cool, but then there are only 25 snowboarding blogs listed…

It seems they liked my snowboard size calculator in particular – which is awesome as I spent ages on that!

Obviously the directory is aimed at helping people find good blogs in subject areas that they’re interested in. The success of a directory like this depends on the number of blogs listed and the quality of the ratings and reviews. I searched for blogs to do with filming; unfortunately the result was disappointing.

For the time being, it seems that the blogs listed are either rated based on an editor’s review, or are unrated. At least that’s the case with the 10 or so that I’ve looked at. The rating for this blog, afterbang, is based on an editor’s review. According to the FAQs, if a blog receives enough user rating’s then the average user rating will be shown along with the editor’s rating. There aren’t that many user reviews yet…

I’m unsure whether or not this blog directory will take off, but no doubt some people will find it useful. Maybe I’ll go back there in a while and see if there are better results for filming-related blogs?

In the mean time, why not check out whether snowboarding is bad for the environment… you might be surprised…
