Schmoozing as defined by Dictonary.com is the ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” When it comes to blogging, schmoozing is your ticket to making new friends, getting yourself noticed and building a reputation. Some bloggers are gifted with the ability to effectively schmooze and others not so much. ThingsByMike seems to be the original poster…alongside a friend…and since Zhu is always commenting on my posts, I figured I would oblige in this cool award of sorts…
#5 Pastlifecarthief.com - I was emailed about a link exchange, and it has worked out well for me…since I get comments, and an rss feed worth everyone’s time! Lisa has a knack for making things enjoyable beyond other rss feeds that I get…which is saying a lot, since I get over 300+ daily.
#4 Reviews and More, I’m not sure how I stumbled onto this blog, but it’s awesome! The blog reviews more than just dvd’s, they do a ton of reviews on stuff, and well…a highly enjoyable blog with comments now arriving at my little space in the universe 
#3 saAction Techy, Cool, Hip, Nerdy? Programming and other stuff and a comment on my site has landed this blog at #3. I’m a web developer so I have a major affinity for technical workers worldwide!
#2 Reality Is Over Rated That’s right, it sure is. This blog and blogger left me good tidings while I was trying to find a job upon moving here to Seattle…I love the writing of that blog, and another rss feed worth reading. A good tiding on my site goes a long way…even if it is a little lengthy in between comments. I’m still reading!
#1 Ryan444123.com has got to be the best site for offbeat news. You can go around to a lot of sites, and read a lot of feeds, but you won’t get the true gems, like you will with checking out Ryan’s Blog. He’s got so much action over there, and continually supports this blog and my endeavor’s that he’s building community for today, tomorrow, and forever!
So there you have it folks, my attempt to do this award thing…and well…I’m not good at this stuff, so I gave it my best shot, and here it is.
