BlogBurst, a blog syndication service, rewarded EarthSky Communications for the 2nd quarter of 2007 for ranking second on BlogBurst’s Leaderboard of most distributed blogs.
‘We are pleased to publicly honor many of the bloggers whose unique perspectives are now reaching new audiences on the industry’s largest media sites,’ said Dave Panos, CEO of Pluck Corp, creator of BlogBurst.
EarthSky headlines are among the most viewed on top-tier online destinations such as USAToday.com and Reuters.com. Blogburst enables these sites to present relevant blog posts alongside related stories.
EarthSky’s high ranking within BlogBurst made it eligible for a cash award. EarthSky donated the full amount to the Martha Portree Family Fund. Portree, a librarian in Flagstaff, Arizona, was killed in a car accident in 2007. Her husband, David Portree, is a long-time freelance writer for EarthSky Communications, Inc.
