I just came across Blaugh, the self proclaimed (un)official comic of the blogosphere, with Brad Fitzpatrick and Chris Pirillo behind it, it is pretty funny and certainly worth reading, I am surprise I have not seen this before.

One think that I like of this site/blog is that it is so Web2.0 not only on its content (and sense of humor about it) but on they way to promote it. They have implemented pretty much everything you need to virally promote the site and the content, here is a list since it is one of the most completes I have seen:

- RSS feed (pretty obvious)

- HTML Code to add one of their comics to your blog (also pretty common but enhanced with different versions of the code so you can add it in different sizes, not that you need that but….)

- Code for adding it to MySpace (fairly common)

- A box to add your email for receiving updates via email (although pretty obvious, a feature that is missing in many websites and blogs due to the use and abuse of RSS)

- A one-click link to add it to your Google home page (useful but it will be nice if they had the same one for Yahoo! and MSN to make it even more complete)

- An API to write your own widgets (starts getting sophisticated)

- A Wordpress sidebar widget (presumably written with the Blaugh API mentioned above), pretty useful… for Wordpress users, anyone up for writing one for Typepad users?
