Find Thought Leaders for Your Cause

Just found out about this nifty new tool to find bloggers who care about your cause. It's called Google Blog Search. (Thanks, HubSpot.)

How it works:

1. Go to www.google.com/blogsearch.
2. Type in keywords which describe your cause.

That's it!

For example, I did a search for "feed the hungry" and Google returned links to the blogs below.

• feedahungrychild.org - About FAHC - http://feedahungrychild.org/
• On The Road with Feed The Hungry - http://fthblog.blogspot.com/
• Community Dictionary - http://www.definition-of.com/
• Muslim-Jewish Feed the Hungry Program - http://muslimjewish.wordpress.com/
• roundup2roundup | Using spare change to feed the hungry - http://www.roundup2roundup.org/Christian Science Monitor | Living - http://www.csmonitor.com/
• The Hall Monitor - http://hallmonitor.lohudblogs.com/
• Change.org's Poverty in America Blog - http://uspoverty.change.org/

We talk a lot in social media circles about LISTENING to the conversations that are taking place online before launching a new blog. Google Blog Search is a great tool for getting started.
