Hey Carl,
Great thing you’re doing for all the young bloggers, I gave you a shout over at my blog.
If you're new here, you really should subscribe to my blog's Full RSS feed for FREE! You don't want to miss informative posts! Thanks!
It’s funny that our ISP got a hiccup exactly on Christmas day.
So I had to go to a nearby coffee shop just to launch this on time…
http://www.youngestblogger.com
Since it’s Christmas, I wanted to launch something unique that will help other bloggers, young bloggers like me.
It basically ranks bloggers under 18 using 4 ranking factors which is their age (younger the better), Google PR, Technorati and Alexa rank – plus it updates automagically everyday!
For those curious cats, here’s the formula of how the blogs are ranked…
Age: 20%
Google PR: 25%
Technorati: 30%
Alexa: 25%
Now this is where it gets pretty. We’ve added a spiffy, review and vote function wherein you can review the blog and rate it from 1 to 5 to help the blogger improve and go a long way.
No “This blog sucks.” reviews there, the main goal is to improve the young bloggers so we review each comment thoroughly.
We are on the 20’s mark – it’s still a long way to complete the goal of top 100 list so I need your help on this one, click here if you are below 18 and blogging. If you’re not, then add someone you know that is under 18 and blogging.
Check it out here…

Hey Carl!

Great idea!

This is a great job, Carl. I am so glad that you are unselfishly helping your fellow kid bloggers. You truly are a pride of the Filipinos.
By the way, Meghna of Delve into the Mind of a Budding Blogger has been my online follower and friend as well since last year on my parenting blog. I can say that she is truly an amazing blogger, writer, and poet. I watched her blog grow, and her passion for blogging. I just made a review for her and gave her a 5 star. I assume that 5 is the highest though.
Anyway, rest assured that I am one of those who will support you with your good cause.
Thanks and keep it up!

Congrats on your launch of Youngest Blogger Dot Com…what about 20 years old blogger like me..can it be considered or out of the list. Please adviced.

Hey Rich,
That’s awesome! I appreciate you contributing on Youngest Blogger.
There will be more to come I tell you ;-)
December 27, 2008
Hmmm I don’t know really but if you look at the name “Youngest Blogger” there’s a very very dark and narrow chance :-P
December 27, 2008
Not at the moment. We’ll still decide if we’ll accept bloggers older than 18.

Carl, what a brilliant idea you came up with.
But,
It seems there’s a controversy about this “idea”, Carl.
Looks like your digg page is full with people who claims that this idea belongs to Michael Dunlop (Retireat21.com).
Well, I’m not siding with both of you. But I do wish you young guns can solve this matter before it turns into a huge snowball.
