Tomorrow, Cre8Buzz changes to Public Beta which means that it is visible to non-members. You still need to be a member to post or comment and have to be invited by a member to join.
I was invited at the beginning of August and have found it a really great, vibrant community. Unlike some other social networks, where everyone is out to build their own little (or big) empire, everyone at Cre8Buzz is helpful and are growing and adding to the whole community. You can customise your profile page and this works really well, clean and not too gaudy.
There are somewhere around 700 members at the moment, some are friends from other social networks, like Carol who invited me, some are new like Pari, Finland_in_Eaton and Novembrance.
Some of the members have shared their experiances on the Cre8Buzz blog. It’s difficult to put my finger on exactly why it works, but it just does.
So, please take to time tomorrow to pop over and have a look. My Cre8Buzz profile is here. If you want an invite, you can let me know through my contact me page and I’ll send one over.

I was dragged into Facebook by some people a little while ago which I assume is similar. I’m still exploring it a bit and wondering why I’m there.
It seems that a group I circulate in moved en mass from Pownce to Facebook, but now we know each other a little better. All though the members of the group are medbloggers or medblog readers on the whole.
By the way the link to the blog is not working properly.

Hi jmb,
Yes, there are a couple of networks like that for me. I’ve joined and not really seen the point when I got there.
This one is different, everyone from all communities is really friendly, so you end up reading all sorts of posts and chatting (using the widget on a lot of the profile pages) with whoever is online.
I guess the link problem must have been related to the launch; all the links seem to be working now.

Ian
I just joined cre8buzz myself and I think that’s how I ended up here…
So far I like it, it seems to be yet another great way to network with other bloggers–there are so many different ways out there to do so now it’s hard to keep up!
I see that your Buzz Ranking is 1, that’s pretty awesome… how do you go about increasing your buzz ranking?
Thanks again for visiting and commenting.
I think cre8Buzz is a great place, everyone there is so helpful and friendly. It is a good place to showcase any pictures, videos or posts.
I agree there are so many networks and sites out there to promote through. I think it is too much to try to do them all. I use MyBlogLog for the widget and I’m on Technorati, but the majority of my new traffic is coming from cre8Buzz.
Thanks for the praise, but I’m only Buzz Ranking 1 in Technology – PC, Jackal is Buzz Ranking 1 overall and in also 1 in Photography.
All aspects of your interaction at cre8Buzz contribute to your BuzzRanking. This means that adding pictures, posts, video and comments all help improve your rank. You also have the ability to rank profiles, blogs, blogposts etc. 1 to 8 with 8 being best. Each day the ranking gets updated, so you’ll see your new ranking (overall and in your community tomorrow)
Regards,
Ian
