I don’t rush on it. I don’t use it for my dutch blog, because the most of items you see on that Blogrush plugin is english-language and has to do with seo or marketing related topics which are not relevant for my visitors.

I signed up, installed, monitored, and dumped, all within the space of two weeks. I’ve decided that ALL these kinds of apps and widgets are merely a distraction from my own content and where I really want to send my visitors after they’ve read my stuff. Avoid like the plague.

As with Dewald above, my issue with it (and the reason I not signing up to it) is because it’s using Javascript, which as a wordpress.com user, I cannot post on my sidebars.
