Listen Up! - Blog CollectiveWritten by: Haily | I write about a new service called Listen Up!

While I have been looking around recently for different ways for IC visitors to be able to stay connected with IC, I came across Listen Up!, a site by Justin at I Peed A Little. First off, before I begin telling you about Listen Up, I would like to tell you to add your site into this blog collective. I think it's an amazing idea and I would love to support it. =)

Listen Up! is a blog collective of various websites throughout the web design community. Currently Listen Up's updates can be followed by their website and their Twitter @ListenUpBot. The idea behind Listen Up is given clearly by their site: "The latest blogs and updates from the webdesign community."

Being the webmaster of IceCaves.net, a site that also attempts to create a community of amateur webmasters and designers, I was thrilled to find something like Listen Up. Honestly, there isn't much of such a community out there that caters to amateur webmasters. And if there is such a community out there (like IceCaves) it's really small and limited to a handful of websites. IC really has no direct competition, and I have to say, it's rather lonely. xD Listen Up is a great way to connect with many amateur webmasters and to discover new websites. Such webmasters traditionally only visit a small cluster of blogs. And that's what IC is about--expanding this cluster. And I don't mean "amateur" in a bad way. We all know that most of you reading this are far from professional webmasters (or even from having anything better to do xD).

And this is why I think Listen Up is such a great service. I'm all for anything that is synonymous with what IC is about. So, make Justin a little busier today and go add your site to Listen Up. All you need is to provide an RSS feed for the site to follow you. IC is already up there and you might see our updates on there from time to time. ;)
