Big Day For ExperienceCurve
I’m not sure but i think i’ve been selected to be part of the 9rules network, holy shit.
Update: Yes it looks like it’s official, here’s the round 4 list on 9rules, I’m not actually in there yet as they’ve got to get the agreement in place and write a description and put ExpereinceCurve in the right category.
Boy I am extremely excited about this. If you are not familiar with 9rules it is a network of hand picked blogs that are aggregated on the 9rules site, it’s kind of like a very small very exclusive yahoo for blogs. They have about 200 blogs under a bunch of different categories. Currently they’ve got 23 business blogs, 40 design blogs, 10 technology blogs and so on, so you can see they’ve been very selective.
Their criteria are here:
- Great content, updated regularly. A nicely-designed site might draw readers in, but it’s the content that keeps them coming back.
- The desire to improve your site and your skills.
- A commitment to the 9rules community, whether that means helping fellow members or just giving advice to a new writer.
In some ways I feel like Steve Martins character in The Jerk when he finds his name in the phone book…
