About 2 years ago, I was fortunate enough to join 9rules, an exclusive blog network. Today, I have joined another upcoming (albeit much smaller, with a maximum of 10 members at this moment) blog network called Grand Effect.
Grand Effect is a network specifically for technology bloggers and I am joining some long-time blogfriends such as Sarah (in Tampa) and Ghacks. I look forward to becoming blogfriends of other members of the network such as eXtra for Every Publisher, WinExtra and SheGeeks, ParisLemon, The Last Podcast and Mark Evans Tech.
Even though Grand Effect already has a fairly worldwide range of writers, because Mark Evans and David of XFEP are Canadian; Martin of gHacks is in Germany (Guten Tag!); and several others are in the US, I hope to provide another European voice!
As well as being a collection of fantastic tech bloggers, Grand Effect is a great advertising opportunity for start-ups and tech companies who wish to penetrate the tech blogosphere as they could easily find themselves on several tech blogs.
I have already received a very warm from network members, so thank you!
On a sidenote, 9rules is currently having an admissions round so apply if you fancy joining!
Former fellow 9ruler Mashable has covered Grand Effect twice. (link, link)

Ummm… isn’t it against 9rules TOS to be part of another network?
Welcome Joe, great to have you on board although I normally do consider Brits to be more American than European
Azhar: Thankfully, it has just been amended which facilitates my entry. And Martin, I think most Britons consider themselves more British than European. Still, my passport says ‘European’ and that is what I am.
Joe,
Glad to be part of Grand Effect with you and everyone else!
cheers, Mark
