What is "blogged.com"

Blogged.com is a blog directory that attempts to combine social networking with people's interests in blogging. It employs a method of niche social networking whereby people can connect to each other by their interests rather than their social connections. It attempts to use a method of crowdsourcing to help evaluate the quality of various blogs. Blogged symbolizes a trend of new sites that attempt to connect people with their interests rather than social connections. This type of niche social networking has been employed successfully by sites such as Flixster, Yelp, Last.FM, and Stumbleupon. TechCrunch has recently compared Blogged.com to Yelp for blogs.
