I ran across this at Third World County. Being a blogger I clicked on his links to find out more about Blogger Fishing at Random Yak and The Platypus Society.
Even after I read about the Blogger Fishing game I swallowed the hook thrown out over at Life ~ Florida ~ Whatever. I’m not a very smart fish.
So I think I’ll throw my own line out.
Platypus created the game and you should check out his description of bloggers and why this game works … He explains the game rules:
For bait, I plan on using something that most bloggers find irresistible: Links. Bloggers are notorious for their compulsive habit of checking their hitcounter, Technorati ranking, or TTLB ranking to keep track of any new visits or links to their site. Below I have set the bait by posting links to a number of bloggers and have clicked on each one to help stir up the chum in the water. Feel free to click on the links below and visit these fine bloggers and help stir up the blogger feeding frenzy.
I’m baiting my hook and throwing it in the blogger pool. I’m picking a few blogs I like and read regularly to see if I get any nibbles.
Click the links cause they are worth reading. [Plus, as The Platypus says, clicking the links helps 'stir up the chum and get the bloggers to take the bair'.] If you get hooked, leave a message and/or trackback to let me know.
Let’s see, what fish shall I try to reel in …..
The Wide Awake Cafe [caught & released]
Carry on America [caught & released]
Hillbilly White Trash [caught & released]
A Rose by any Other Name [caught & released]
A Lady’s Ruminations [caught & released]
Okay - that’s enough for tonight. It takes me too long cause I start reading every one of the blogs! There are so many good blogs out there! I may add more tomorrow. We’ll see if I get any nibbles tonight
Besides, I have to check my blog stats tonight before I go to bed ….
gute Nacht

Update: Excellent night fishing. I caught Random Yak - but threw him back in the water so the next person can catch him (he keeps getting caught! We might should start keeping track of how many people catch Random yak! lol)
I also caught Life ~ Florida ~ Whatever and Platypus. Threw them back too. But what good catches!
I’ve added onto the list above who I caught.
I’m keeping the line out to see who else gets reeled in :)ÂÂ

What kind of fish am I?
We just had a flathead catfish tournament around these parts this past weekend. I could be one of those.
Happy day!
Glug glug!
