Schmooze Award
Published by deviousdiva July 26th, 2007 in Awards.I got a Schmooze Award today from Rositta at The View from Here.
Not sure about the graphics for the award. I don’t know what a muscleman has to do with schmooze ? 
Here is the definition of schmooze:
As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship….
Thank you very much for the warm words, Rositta. Now to pass on the compliment…
brownfemipower who is the greatest at creating community by always responding to comments and genuinely reaching out to everyone.
Blue Gal who is simply brilliant and makes me think.
Kalifornia Kat who is doing a great job building an online expat community here in Athens with her blog An American in Athens.
Always dignified, always open, always smart, bint alshamsa at My Private Casbah deserves much more than a schmooze award.
And last but not least, Elaine Vigneault for taking an idea and making it work. Check out her personal blog too.
Thank you to everyone who reads this blog and contributes to the community here. You make it so easy to schmooze…

Yeah, that muscle arm is a little weird.
You are a good shmoozer, though!
awww, thanks for schmoozing me!!!! this is the highest honor!
::bows before the diva of all diva bloggers::
You are both welcome my fellow schmooozers !
Thanks, Diva Honey! I’ll pass it on.
Thanks DD, I appreciate the respect. However, I’d like to point out that I’m not the least bit deserving because I tend to be blunt and not at all schmoozy when it comes to the site. I don’t tolerate ignorance well, publish and confront the questionable comments, and only give links to sites I deem worthy as to not mislead a reader seeking sound information and good quality writing.
I think Mel’s Diner is totally more deserving than I!!! Now that’s a truly nice person.
I agree CaliforniaKat, that Mel is deserving of the award too and that she is a truly nice person. I did want to spread the blog love about a bit this time. (I have passed on the kudos to her a few times in the past). I do think you are equally deserving because you have built a community in a very short time and you work hard to maintain it. Your style may not be schmoozy but I think people like your straight-talking, no nonsense approach. I certainly do.
