You've all heard of Blog Aggregators going after specific types of blogger content. We have MelodyTrip* going after Music Festival bloggers, Gather that's going after every type of blogger and of course we have the general blogger at Friendster.
Now, BlogBurst is providing a unique twist to blogger content. If you blog, BlogBurst will take your content and send it to a bunch of Newspapers (and other publications) who are looking for specific type of content. For example: take this blog. This blog primarily focuses on Internet Retail from a technology and a "social phenomenon" standpoint. So if the Boston Globe wants a quality article/story on Internet Retailing, they might come to this blog and pick it up (through BlogBurst). I am sure BlogBurst has competent editors who screen various blogs for quality of content.
Snubster is another interesting one. It wants to capitalize on 'venting' or 'bitching and moaning'. Although it is two years too late (Red Sox fan's would have been a PRIME group for snubster and they could wax eloquently and incessantly about the "pre-2004-when sox won the world series" minutiae). I can see it being a great tool for teenagers and the teenager in all of us, who can then vent about the parents, school, and everything in between. Hey who knows, they could even prevent a tragedy or two (here could a social phenomenon).
Two pretty good ideas and I am sure hundreds more to come.
Blog Away!

Getusb.info is part of the BlogBurst network and has been picked up by several newspapers. It's been very nice to see the additional traffic and the news papers have done a great job integrating these blogs into their content offering.
