"As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability 'to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.' Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship."
Here are the rules: Each award winner is to display the badge on the sidebar of his blog with a link to the post which contains the explanation of the award, then nominate five bloggers to receive the award. Now comes the really hard part. It's not hard at all thinking of bloggers who schmooze, it's finding ones who haven't been nominated yet. Here are my picks(more than 5 kitties, but just 5 blogs!):
The gang at House of Mostly Black Cats - Sanjee, Boni, Mini, Pepi and Gree
The ladies of the Big Piney Woods - Patches, Mittens, Mistrie and Precious
Edsel the Pooch
Diva Kittie and the Fluffies - Sophia, Fiona and Orlando
Bonnie Underfoot and Victor Tabbycat
Plus the LOLCats at I Can Has Cheeseburger made Time Magazine this week! We internet cats are becoming more mainstream!
I keep thinking I has something else to tell you guys, but it hasn't come to me. If and when I amember it I will post on it. Schmooze to you all.
