Instablogs 2.0 Reboot : Test Drive Beta

Instablogs is the popular Indian blogging network, and they are introducing Instablogs 2.0 – The Next Generation Blog Network that brings “Bloggers and Readers closer”.

“On Instablogs 2.0, readers can form small topic-specific communities and tribes; they will find network-wide tagging and searching, a newsroom for news submission/tipping and news link picking. They would also find all the stories in the network aggregated in one place accessible via the reading room. They can also create their network of friends. They can read, rate and comment on stories. You will find features like RSS customization for any channel, topic, writer, tag, etc. You can keep track of your friends, comments and posts easily. You subscribe only those channels you want and unsubscribe others you wish not to read. Personalized homepage is another feature we are sure our members will love. However, if we have to choose our favorite feature of Instablogs 2.0, it has to be Readers’ Rewards whereby our readers can be editors for any channels of their choice.”

You can test drive Instablogs 2.0 Beta by entering your email address on their sign up form. The blog says beta tester invites are going out. The Instablogs 2.0 reboot will occur on November 6, 2006.
