Blogger Interview: Ingrid Diaz

Channel Editors

You’ll notice in our b5media blogroll in our sidebar that each blog fits into a category. One of the things that you don’t see on the list that has been going on behind the scenes is that we’re gradually installing channel editors (working title) to oversea each area of b5.
So far we’ve got editors for […]

New Entertainment Blogs

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been doing some fairly massive internal restructuring at b5media. One of those changes has been to bring on “Channel Editors” (working title) to help reviewing applications, talking to bloggers and getting them setup and then doing the day-to-day running of our “Channels” (again, working title).
One of our Channel […]

b5media AdBrite Discounts

We did this once before when we were launching a new round of blogs and it seemed to go over well, so we’ve decided to repeat. Last time was when we first tried out AdBrite and average impressions were around 1000 pages per day.
Now that average impressions are between 20,000-30,000 pages per day (of […]

We’re Blogging Fabulous!

As many people know, our Round 2 of blogs is made up of a large number of fantastic women bloggers. Combined with our strong existing female contingent and the recent merger with About Weblogs, it’s quite easy to see that us guys are quite outnumbered here at b5media.
But that’s fine by me, as all of […]

I’m So Desperate

Okay, I’ll admit it. I watch too much TV. I blame the fact that the new shows this season are just so good I feel bad not watching them. Like I’m doing the directors and writers and artists a disservice. I guiltily admit that I watch Surface, Commander in Chief, E-Ring, Threshold, Supernatural and during […]

Ingrid Loses Her Mind

I had always known Ingrid was fragile. But never in my wildest nightmares did I think that her psychotic break would happen so early in her b5media career.
Her recent, uh, adventures with her box left me in stitches.
I placed it down in the middle of the living room, and welcomed it to my home. At […]

Sports Bloggers

Just a note that we’ve brought on someone to help with the sports blogs, so communications to sports bloggers should go out in the next few days, and things should start moving much more quickly. Our apologies on the delay, we’ve simply been overwhelmed with what needs doing. We’re working to fix that across the […]

Mid-November Blog Launches

We’re still doing all kinds of work behind-the-scenes on the merger, however we didn’t want that to slow down our Round 2 of blogs too much.
Here are the new blogs from last week that went live over the weekend:
The Footie: Written by a brand new blogger that we’re coming to know and love very quickly, […]
