As a personal blogger, you begin to make friends with other blogs and also want to show off the sites you like. At the moment, this requires a big list of websites (like ours in the sidebar) which means time spent tinkering with that can't be used to write more articles. And, in Web 2.0 world based around Twitter and such, it's a bit old fashioned. A fix for this is SmallRivers, a tool that allows for blogs of the same type to automatically link to each other using a system not unfamiliar to anyone who uses facebook groups. By simply going to www.smallrivers.com and joining a network (without any forms to fill in for sign up), you can add a small line of HTML to your site to produce a box like the one below. This will then advertise other sites in the same network while also adding your site and making it appear on other blogs using the same tools. And that is it! No sign up just one line of code and you're in. Alternatively, if you want to start a new network, you can do with the minimum of fuss. This system has real promise and could possibly make it easier to find other quality blogs on the internet. It should also help to improve the networking between different bloggers who can then spread ideas among each other. Hopefully these Small Rivers will grow into much larger ones - the system has already been picked up by organisations such as the WWF and many more.
