"Blogs.com is the place to go for anyone who wants a fast, easy way to find the best blogs," said Mena Trott, Co-Founder and President of Six Apart. "Six Apart is a company founded by bloggers, for bloggers, so we're excited to help guide people to great blogs on anything and everything from gardening to gadgets, politics to pets, and everything else good about blogs."

The simple, streamlined Blogs.com design makes it easy for people to find and share well-written and relevant posts in blogs with audiences of all sizes. By organizing the top blogs in one place, Blogs.com helps all readers, including those who are new to blogs, discover the best blogs on a range of topics including Life, Entertainment, Technology, News & Politics, Business, as well as seasonal topics like Student Life. Readers who are looking for the top blogs in specific categories, such as nutrition or iPhones, will find what they are looking for in one of many top ten lists organized by topic.

"Six Apart is committed to making bloggers successful," said David Tokheim, EVP and GM of Media at Six Apart. "With so many blogs created every day, we want to help readers discover the must-read blogs, as well as help bloggers connect with new readers. Blogs.com does just that."

Blogs.com also benefits bloggers by providing them with traffic, recognition and links to the top bloggers and best content. Bloggers and readers will also enjoy Guest Editor featured editorials and top ten lists written by some of the most influential people on the web, including Craigslist founder Craig Newmark and Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired magazine. A partnership with Voxant provides readers with free access to premium licensed video content from sources such as AP, Reuters, CNN, BBC etc., while a partnership with Clearspring makes it easy for readers to share blog posts via email, posts to their personal blogs, or their favorite social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, and Bebo.

Blogs.com replaces Rojo.com, the blog aggregation site Six Apart acquired in 2006, and the popular Week in Rojo email newsletter will reinvent itself as the Blogs.com newsletter.
