Does anyone use it? It’s $12.95 a month … to blog? What’s that all about?
I’m wondering if they have RSS or ATOM feeds, or do they hide that because they’re a subscription service?
Seriously, 12.95 a month to blog? Why? WTF?

Sounds expensive, especially when there are so many free blogging services. I could choose to have mine free, but I like the extras, so I pay $25 a YEAR. There’s no way I’d pay $13 a month.
I agree; that’s just too expensive to be justifiable in this day and age of freemium services like Blogger and WordPress.
I agree with both of you. What I am looking for is someone who may use the service that can get me an RSS feed address.
It’s MLM for blogging….

The first few days I wasn’t so sure that I would earn anything close to my subscription fee until I learned the secret to success on Blogit.com. I began to interact with other bloggers via their comment section and soon I found they were also reading me and commenting. For each read the writer gets a portion of that bloggers subscription fee based on how many people they read in a given month. I also discovered that I was becoming quite attached to many on the site.

That is the weirdest damn thing … I’ll bet $1.00 Canadian it was invented in Utah.
Speaking of Canandian — I think it’s almost time to turn in that $40 in canadian that I’ve been holding on to.
I always thought that I’d use it if I ever had to leave the country in a hurry, you know, when Bush labels me an enemy combatant and is preparing to lock me up at Gitmo for my peaceful activities . . .
But the exchange rate is making it a very attractive option to cash it in
