I asked Michael from The Ooze if it would be okay if I went ahead and made some badges and tried to put together a semi-official list of those who are part of the Ooze Select Blogger group. This will hopefully allow people to read a variety of reviews on the materials that we are sent. Basically the list of blogs below are bloggers who were selected by The Ooze to receive books from publishers and authors to review and blog about (obviously in hopes of creating interest and buzz around their particular book).
I wasn’t given an official list, so we’ll let the Blogosphere do it’s magic and allow those who are Select bloggers to discover this post, comment below so I can add you, and steal the Select Blogger Badge below.
I’m starting the list with the first ten select bloggers I can find via a google blog search. There are 50 out there so try and find your way over and I’ll add to the list as you comment.
The Ooze Select Blogger List (In no particular order):
- Rev. Todd
- Consuming Worship
- Blake Huggins
- Trying to Follow
- Recliner Ramblings
- Some Strange Ideas
- Solar Crash
- Todd Littleton
- Julie Clawson
- Calacirian
- Notes From Off Center
- Keeping Feet
- Swinging From The Vine
- Intercession City
- Gavin
- Blind Beggar
- Sally’s Journey
- With/out God
- Sensual Jesus
- What Canst Thou Say?
- Into The Subversion
- Some Strange Ideas
- Kingdom Grace
- Jonathan Merritt
- The Journey
- And More to come….
A note to select bloggers: If you are planning on tagging or categorizing your Ooze Book reviews in some fashion, please post the url to that category or tag page on your blog rather then just the blog url itself. I figure ‘select’ bloggers ought to be web-savvy enough to get the badge on their own page, but let me know if you need help. (I would appreciate it if you would copy the image to your own server).
I’m the biggest slacker-Ooze-Select-Blogger there is, as I have a pile of books and have only posted one review. Sigh.
I like the logo- good job!
Thanks!
This is a good idea as I have wanted to find out who the other select bloggers are too. It would be nice to have more links to discuss the books we are reading kind of like a shelfari kind of thing. Actually Shelfari would be another good venue for this…
This is a great idea, Ariah … I’ll have to give my Ooze posts a good tag. Like Joanna … I’m behind. I’ve only done two or three and I just got another stack of books. Woe is me.
Drew’s idea about Shelfari looks good too … hmmm …
Also, I think Makeesha Fisher is part of the group.
slacker ooze book blogger here too – I had taken a break from blogging so I didn’t do anything with this awesome stack of books but I’m back and recently posted my review on we the purple and have “feel” written and just need to proof and post.
fancy pants.
theooze needs to validate my blogging quick before my advertising rates go up! 😛
here’s my ooze tag url

I went ahead and created an ooze tag on my shelfari – would be be good to create a group so everyone’s reviews can be in one place? I’m only slightly familiar with shelfari even though I have tons of books up there.

I just got a new stack of books. Anyone else?
Go OOZE!
great idea! thanks for doing this ariah.
i’ve updated my tag and added the badge. i’ve only done to real reviews. i’m way behind on my summer reading and i’m having our mail held right now until we finish the move. so no new books yet. 🙁

Here’s my ooze review category … I think I need to change these over to tags. I’m so behind … heavy sigh.

oh, and here’s my tag url: http://blakehuggins.com/tag/the-ooze/
Like many who have responded, I am way behind in my reading. I am grateful that The Ooze has continued to send books my way, as I have really only read My Beautiful Idol.
Anyone else get the free coffee this week? That should help get through some more books!
I just created a “ooze” tag. Here’s the url:

Add me to the list of new reviewers
i get back from vacation to review more books.. great.. i’m still working that last stack. such a slacker i am.
cool, thanks for linking me… i guess i should start tagging’em. I’ve only had one book to review so far, so i’ll provide a consistent tag after i get my next batch…
btw, how’d you get the follow-up comment subscription thing checked by default?
peace, Lon
I’m an OOZE select blogger, here is my latest review:
http://sallysjourney.typepad.com/sallys_journey/2008/07/the-almost-true-story-of-ryan-fisher–book-review.html
you rock. thanks for putting this together. it’s kinda reassuring to know that most of us a just a bit behind on our Ooze reading. maybe summer wasn’t the best time to really get this whole thing kicked off… But I am looking forward to eventually reading and reviewing the books!
i want to play!
harrumph!
i know… i’m going to just go and buy these-a books a-myself and review them sooo good.
then, i’m going to call myself an Atheooze Blogger because I don’t believe in ooze.
Feel free to add me to the list:
