Baby Einstein Success

Recently, my friend Marcia and I were discussing the success of the Baby Einstein products.

Marica and her family own a company that sells an an incredible video/DVD art curriculum program called Arts Attack, to school districts around the country. Their company also has a home school division.

We discussed Baby Einstein's success and today I found an article titled, "The Baby Einstein Sensation," on a blog called Small Business Tycoon.

So many great blogs, so little time!

A great blog that I discovered when I went to the "Best on the Web" blog directory was the CEO's Bloggers Club: the international club of CEO bloggers.

"Best of the Web" and other Blog Directories

A blog directory that I like is the Best of the Web blog directory.

After I have more content on my blog, I will list it with several blog directories. I Googled "Blog directories" and it brought up a lot of blog directory websites. One of them is called Blogarama.

Google, of course, also has a blog search.
