Well, yes and no.  Some are better than others.  I have found a couple I really like.  One of them is <a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.blogcatalog.com/?referer=');">Blog Catalog</a>.  The folks there have quality blogs on a full variety of interests.  There are groups which are there for any interest or objective you want.  There are groups that support each other in other networks, there are groups that share tips on how to make your blog better, there are groups that just share on any subject.</p>
<p>Rather than being a place to submit your sites and posts and articles, this is a listing of all of your blogs (they have to be reviewed and accepted).  You find other blogs you like and joint the neighborhood.  You can add friends.  And most members list the other networks they are a part of.  That way you can find them on mybloglog, stumble, digg, technorati, and even entrecard &#8211; and a lot more.</p>
<p>Best thing is, if you don&#8217;t find a group for your specific interest, you can start a group.  And you can announce it on the broadcast.  You can even let people know your article, post, etc, is available to stumble or digg or bookmark or whatever.  No one has to digg or vote for it &#8211; it is just an announcement so they can go look at it.  Hopefully, many will find it good enough to give you a point.</p>
<p>So head on over to <a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.blogcatalog.com/?referer=');">Blog Catalog</a> and join in the fun now.</p>
