BlogCatalog is a new, up and coming social network. It's newer than MyBlogLog, but a whole lot easier to get around in, in my opinion. I especially like the discussion forums. It's easy to just read what everyone else has to say, or get into it and post replies. You get to see the avatars next to each entry in a thread so you know (as much as you can know) who you're replying to or who's replying to you.

I've been a member for a month or so, but removed the widget for a time while moving from host to host. Still, I've been able to gather friends, join neighborhoods, etc. as if I never removed the widget. I've noticed more activity in the last two weeks than before and it keeps me excited about this community. I can see bigger and better things coming down the pike.

If you want to see how fast my friends and neighborhoods have grown, I invite you to take a look at my BlogCatalog Profile Page.
