Interest in IBNMA Continues
By Paul Chaney | June 25, 2008
I’m very excited to report that interest in the IBNMA continues to grow. Here’s the evidence:
- New members are joining every day via Blog World and here on the site.
- Several have expressed interest in helping us in various ways.
- We getting comments and suggestions like the one below.
There are several things you can do to help us continue this snowball rolling downhill:
- Subcribe to the RSS feed for this site.
- Place the “Founding Member” badge on your Web site or blog with a link back to this site. (It will be available shortly.)
- Add “I’m a founding member of the IBNMA” to your email signature along with a link to the site.
- Evangelize for the organization as you have opportunity.
- Submit your comments and questions. We want to hear from you.
- If you’re not already a member, what’s keeping you? Join today!
Here’s a comment from one of our members with some suggestions:
“Welcome to Paul and the new Board members! I can see the potential of IBNMA coalescing.
“I wonder if the IBNMA website can provide a ‘Blog Directory’ like a ‘Yellow Pages’ of member blogs all over the world, searchable by location, subject areas, audience interests and discussion topics.
“Another possible idea is that you could promote a featured member blog, with a new one every week or every month, on the IBNMA homepage.”
Some great ideas if you ask me. Honestly, there are so many benefits we can offer members it won’t be a matter of what we offer so much as what we don’t.
If you have ideas or suggestions for ways we can better serve our members, benefits you’d be interested in seeing us offer, or anything related to the growth of the organization, please let us know.

A wiki might be great for the “yellow pages” idea. You could also go through Ning or Blog Catalog etc. to have a hosted directory/network.

Will there be a special meeting of IBNMA at the next BlogWorld? I think such a meeting would go a long way to promoting the organization, especially if it’s promoted in advance.

We are hoping to have some type of meeting at Blog World. I can’t give you details at the moment, but we’re certainly looking to do something.
