Besides a kick-ass aggregator, you might not have realized that BlogBridge also has lots of content. In keeping with our ‘big idea’ we have made it our mission to help you find blogs on all kinds of topics that you might be interested in. There are several paths into this world that I want to quickly introduce you to.

First off, take a look at the BlogBridge Topic Guides. Yeah, go ahead, click there now and look around that section of our web site. What you will find is a pretty broad collection of topics and subtopics, organized nicely into folders and sub folders of blogs, feeds and so on. It’s a great way to just get a feel of what’s out there. And we are constantly adding to this set.

If you look at a particular Feed there, you will see some pretty useful information. Guess what’s in there? A little feed reader, web based no less. Yeah you thought we hated web based feed readers and here we have one as a little feature right in our Topic Guides. You also see information about the Technorati rank of the feed, and the number of inlinks it has. All to help you decide if this is one you want to read.

But where, oh where, do these topic guides come from? Ah, well many of them are written and maintained by BlogBridge Topic Experts. These are real people who are passionate about something and so follow the blogosphere religiously for information on that topic. Here’s an example of Mark Anderson’s Expert Guide for Caroons & Cartooning, for example. We are always looking to recruit more topic experts so send me an email if you are interested! (In case you are wondering, the non-Expert guides are written by us, your humble servants )

Of course our Topic Guides are useful to anyone, not just BlogBridge users. At every level you can get the RSS feed for blog you like, and an OPML URL for a collection you like. Go ahead and subscribe to it in your favorite reader (even if it’s not BlogBridge.)

If you use BlogBridge there’s some really cool integration. In BlogBridge, when adding a feed, a guide, a reading list, you will see a nice little SUGGEST button that will let you browse our Topic Guides directly from the aggregator. Handy.

Now let’s say you really like the way our Topic Guides look and work, but you have a different idea. Say you are the librarian in a Fortune 500 company, or say you run IT for the Museum of Science, or say you are in charge of a research lab. You want to curate a collection of blogs, feeds, and reading lists, even Podcasts for your community (you know, they say this RSS thing is gonna be big!.)

We also offer you the possibility of creating a private Topic library, just for your users, with content that you add. We call that our Feed Library software product.

Let us know what you think and whether you have any cool applications!
