Blogdimension & Alianzo - the Spanish bloggers’ network - are now supporting each other
There is no any fanatic blogger who has never heard about Alianzo, the most extensive bloggers’ and social network and directory “Made in Spain”! Alianzo is a reference in the blogosphere since early 2005 and is known through its regular and much follwed blog listings established on an international basis.
Alianzo cleverly ranks and federates the blogs and their authors by several criteria like geographic origin (more than 70 countries covered, sometimes zoomed at a regional level), language and a system of categories by tags.
Alianzo rankings are made following a complex formula mixing different sources like “Bloglines RSS subscriptions, Technorati’s incoming links, Google BlogSearch’s incoming links, Alexa’s position, Yahoo’s incoming links, Google’s incoming links and the number of mentions in several Digg’s clones during the last month”. It is based on the combination of popularity measurement and the users’ influence (the users have they word to say which makes alianzo a true Web 2.0 service).
Moreover, a trends system is implemented so the users can follow the tendency of a given blog directly on a timeline.
As per today, there are 13479 bloggers (many of them influential), 15451 blogs, 244 countries, 49 categories and 13814 tags registered in Alianzo.
So why a cooperation between Alianzo and Blogdimension.com?
“We found a natural convergence between a Web 2.0 network/directory and a pure Web 2.0 search engine” says Henrick, one of the two cofounders of Blogdimension. Alianzo and Blogdimension are both focused on the same kind of users and market: bloggers and more generally all kinds of user generated content producers (video, audio & podcast, etc.). Both are active at an international scale, often in the same countries and languages. Both are niche systems. So, there is definitely a positive effect for Alianzo and Blogdimension to support each other and put in common their respective audiences and share some traffic.
Unlike several years ago, Internet users are now very experimented in 2008. They are less and less satisfied by giant monopolistic Internet search systems which tend to pour tons of useless or commercial results on them. This new generation of Internet users is now ready to explore the alternative, specialized and often very efficient tools available to them. Alianzo and Blogdimension are clearly the tools that the power users and bloggers as well as all the Internet users now need in their tool box for their daily Web 2.0 search activities.
