rssHugger vs TreeHugger

We had known tree-dwellers for a long time; those devoted activists living on top of trees to save the ancient giants from falling prey to lodging industry. They are true lovers of the Ents, deep-rooted & slow-footed eco-spirits in Tolkiens' famous trilogy Lord of the Rings. And we had also heard of the tree huggers of India; Chipko movement was inspiring to many by late 70's, women villagers were surrounding the trees to protect them from deforestration. And lately we have learned much from TreeHugger; a web site advocating green politics and guiding people on how to go green.

But rssHugger is totally new to us (as we are totally new in blogosphere). We came across it on http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/ searching for effective ways to get our blog known by many. We were delighted to discover that Blogger-tricks was also published by fellow environmentalist Peter@Environman (See his other blog: http://enviromansays.blogspot.com/).

Collin LaHay, an experienced entrepreneur, search engine optimizer, and internet marketer, developed rssHugger to bring bloggers and readers together and provide blog owners with a unique easy-to-use way to promote their blogs by sending them traffic, building backlinks for search engine optimization, as well as attracting new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the reader.

Compared to alikes such as Technorati and Digg, rssHugger is slow-footed yet but who might know it won't be a deep-rooted giant spirit in time. We promote it here to let that tree grow high (and we dwell on one of it's branches; why cut a branch you sit on:)). Besides, we loved its name reminding us treehuggers and tree-dwellers.

A tree house. A free house.

A secret you and me house.

A high up in the leafy branches.

A happy as can be house.

A street house. A neat house.

A be sure to wipe your feet house,

is not the kind of house for me.

Let's go and live in a treehouse.
