Wanna be a BlogSitter?

BlogSitters for hire! (You mean probloggers?) This is from their website:

Are you a blogger? Do you face some no-internet-days, holidays or something else that keeps you from updating your precious blog? And you know that a blog without daily updates dies very fast?
Don’t worry any longer! blogsitter.net is the plattform for bloggers who need caring people to sit their blogs. Register and place your advertisment to search for a fitting blogsitter. Someone who has your skills in the field of your blog, someone who is trustful and eager to care about your blog.

If you want to participate please register yourself as Blogger looking for a Blogsitter, or Blogsitter looking for a job.

It’s like e-Lance for bloggers. Rates are not yet up but I think it’s dependent on the blogsitter. Would you get one for your blog if the need arises? Depends on what kind of blog you got.

I’d rather go for bloggers I already know, friends, or regular readers. It’s all about trust, baby. You don’t want your blogsitter thinking about his/her own interest and dropping links left in right.

I’m with you Abe. If ever I’ll be away for a quite sometime, it’ll help to have a guest blogger you can trust. Reputation is a very precious.

Same, trust, someone you know. But let’s see how their system works.

I’m going to do some tests and revive a few blogs and see if it really is worth it. Or maybe I’ll start a temporary blog, and see how well their blogsitters will do ;) Without them knowing of course that it is a sort of a test :p Who knows, if that blogsitter will do good, the blog might as well keep going hehe.

Funny, I was thinking about a “Adopt-A-Blog” idea 3 weeks ago until now. I am still laying down the plans though for it. My idea is very similar to theirs. Oh well hehehe, so much for it :p
