When you wish upon a Z-List
Posted by austin under Blogging, Gifter.org
Mack Collier at the Viral Garden blog started the Z-list meme, where he invited people to post links to some of their favorite blogs that could use some link love.
Someone was kind enough to add my blog Billions with Zero Knowledge to the list, which recently made it’s way to Seth Godin’s blog post where he picked up the meme.
I’ve noticed a great pick up in my traffic from Seth’s post, and from the meme spreading on other blogs (my blog was near the top of many of the lists that were being posted - so thanks).
So in addition to posting the Z-list, I’m also inviting any blog listed here to offer their audience a wish on Gifter.org. We have sponsors who have donated $1 for each wish made at the Million Dollar Blog Post.
We currently have 5,807 wishes that have been sponsored with donations to charity. You can see our sponsors choices in charities by following the links to their proof of sponsorships.
- Project Ojibwe - 2500 wishes
- Andy Nulman - 1100 wishes
- Martin Dufort / Kakiloc - 100 wishes
- Freakitude - 10 wishes
- Rohan Jayasekera - 100 wishes
- Jacob Jay / Holocore Blog - 157 wishes
- Dennis Eusebio - 10 wishes
- Patrick Dinnen - 100 wishes
- Craig Silverman - 28 wishes
- David Crow - 100 wishes
- George Favvas - 500 wishes
- Chris Cree - 1039 wishes
- Christine / Very Random - 28 Wishes
- Fred Ngo / Silicon Island - 35 Wishes
So for all you Z-list meme bloggers - if you have benefitted from the traffic from this meme like I have, I invite you to post a wish on your blog (with a link back to the Million Dollar Blog Post) and invite your readers to do the same.
I see this as a timely chance to use the traffic from the Z-list meme to promote the idea recently discussed by Yossi Vardi (father of ICQ) discussed at LeWeb3 where he and David Sifry introduced the idea of BloggersForBetterWorld where bloggers write about issues of social responsibility & change.
We think that Gifter.org is a chance for people to show their support for charities and causes that reflect the type of world they want to create.
So for those on the Z-list, please make a wish on us. Your wish is our donation.
These members of the Z-list have already written about Gifter.org - Andy Nulman, The Instigator Blog, MapleLeaf 2.0, [Updated - and Willard's Web 2.0 Experience who also wrote about Gifter. Sorry Willard - missed you there.]

Well done! Sharing the meme and the gifter.org love. Seasons greetings to you, and congrats on being a blogger we need to know (a.k.a. Z-lister).

Thanks for mentioning Flooring The Consumer.

Thanks for the link - viva la Z-list!
And thanks, too, for the Million Dollar Blog Post link. I sent a wish (via a link on 100 Bloggers) but had not posted about it yet on my own blog - so appreciate the reminder.
Congrats!

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of dedicated people to change the world. Indeed, it’s all that ever have.”
by Margaret Mead
The Z-list is the embodiment of this quote. Thanks for adding us.
Thanks,
