The Skinny on BR2.0
In point form for maximum impact…
… BR2 will be released on March 2 (yayfinally!!)
…. all your old Blogrolls will be imported into the new system, you won’t need to change a thing.
… the system was recoded from scratch, from the ground up. This fixed a ton of old bugs (and probably introduced a ton of new ones)
… the “pay” option is back. All customers get all features, except Pay customers won’t see adverts in their links.
… “adverts in links” is our way of helping us pay for the cost of running blogrolling.com.
… it costs a lot to run blogrolling.com - last year alone we served over a billion blogrolls - that means a lot of bandwidth and a lot of gear. Without a way to recoup some of these costs, it is tough for us to properly invest in it.
… without proper investment, BR2 will fall into disrepair like BR1 did. I’d prefer to charge a little for BR2 so that we can build new features and improve the service, rather than just let it sit there.
Questions? I’m sure there are, please catch us @blogrolling on twitter.
