Bloggers, did you know that when you invite friends to add Blog Friends, they automatically become Fans of your blog(s)? This means they will not only see your posts by preference in their River, but they will also automatically showcase them on their profile box for all their friends to see.
Better still, people who are Fans of your Fans will also get your posts in their River, so you get exponentially more reads of your posts for each Blog Friend you add. In other words, your blog posts spread two degrees of remove across your social network!
An effective way to gain Fans on Blog Friends is to link to us from your blog, perhaps along with your own explanation of why your readers might enjoy Blog Friends.
Here’s the link you need:

Oh and feel free to quote any of the copy or re-use any of the pictures on this blog for material for your post. : )
UPDATE: Thanks to Allan Cockerill for pointing out that your blog readers must also be your facebook friends to automatically become your Blog Friends Fans.

Hey Luke,
You guys have done it again, and I am really happy with the results.
As for the blog readers/Facebook/Blog Friends fans matter, a simple solution is for members of Facebook to add their public profile badge to their blog.
I’ve used it on my own blog to great effect!
Allan,
Glad you’re enjoying our evolution. And we have a load more features specifically aimed at power bloggers and early adopters in the pipeline, so—watch this space!
And your tip about using the Facebook public profile badge makes good sense—thanks.
Just added blogfriends to my facebook page and lookoing forward to results - have a great ‘08 everyone!
