The Adventurist: As Featured On…..

99% of the time I am the one featuring info on others’ endeavors. There have been a few times in the past where my site was featured or mentioned on other sites. Within this past week I have noticed, or been contacted by someone saying that my site was being featured elsewhere. This is always a surprise (and quite flattering). I am always amazed at the reach that I have received for doing something that I love. On that note, I figured I might give you a quick run-down of sites currently mentioning The Adventurist around the Internet. Most of these have just come up in the last week, but they all deserve a note.

First up is Alltop. I was previously not aware of this site, but after a few moments, I quickly realized what a great resource this is.

AllTop is pretty much ran like a news agregator service. They bring many interesting news and blog feeds in to one place and offer up a great way to glance at the headlines and cover a lot of ground quickly. The Adventurist’s RSS feed is currently being featured in their CYCLING area, but there are many other topics, as well. Just a quick glance….they have feeds representing everything from BASEBALL and EXTREME SPORTS to NEWS, OPed, and POLITICS. The Feeds range from the essential: CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOXNews, ESPN, to blogs that represent that specific subject well. Kind of cool that they have included my own feed as a reliable news and information source. I will definitely be adding this site to my list of daily reads, and after a quick visit, I am sure you will feel the same.

I have also noticed a link coming back to me from Wikipedia, everyone’s favorite online encyclopedia. It is just a small credit mention for an article I posted recently, and written by Jo Adams, about Ueli Steck receiving the 2008 Eiger Award. It is still a pretty cool mention, and as far as I am aware, this is my first Wikipedia link.

On top of those two mentions, The Adventurist is also being featured on both, The Shackleton Centenary Expedition website, as well as Todd Carmichael’s Expedition Earth site. The Shackleton Centenary Expedition mention involves my recent interview with Henry Worsley, leader of the Shackleton Centenary Expedition to the South Pole. I will be covering this expedition, as it happens, in a couple of months. For more about this expedition, be sure to check out the Shackleton Centenary Expedition to the South Pole.

From the Shackleton Centenary Expedition website:

Henry Worsley recently gave an interview to the Adventurist website, you can click the link below to read what he said:

The Adventurist
It’s great to see that more and more people are coming on board - we appreciate everyone’s interest and support - we are always eager to talk to people interested in our cause.

Todd Carmichael, whom I have also recently interviewed, has put up a nice quote from myself on the front page to his Expedition Earth website. Todd will be trying to become the first American to go solo, and unsupported to the South Pole. It is kind of cool seeing a pulled quote from myself on his site. Likewise, i will be following Todd’s expedition as it progresses. You can read more by clicking Todd Carmichael’s Expedition Earth 2008 South Pole Expedition.

By the way, Todd pulled this quote for his site, which I still agree with. It should be an exciting expedition.

Todd Carmichael’s Expedition Earth promises to be one of the most anticipated attempts at the South Pole in recent memory. This is will be an expedition of historic proportions.

Alright, one last site and I should have it all covered. The Complete Hunting Reference recently posted a small piece about the launching of the Adventure Hall of Fame, here at The Adventurist. If you are a hunter then you probably already know about this site. They offer up some great tips and techniques to help those hunter’s along. Nice they showed an interest in what I am doing. Thanks.

Speaking of the Adventure Hall of Fame, nominations are still being taken for the next inductee. Come Wednesday, I will narrow this list down to 10 individuals who have received the most attention and the voting process will begin for the second official inductee. This will be an ongoing process. Every two weeks we should have a new induction-be sure to get your nominations in and read more information on this fun project as it progresses. This is definitely a community based project and I would love to see more of you get involved.

Be sure to subscribe to The Adventurist RSS Feed or Email Newsletter to catch future updates to the Adventure Hall of Fame, as well as the Shackleton Centenary Expedition and Todd Carmichael’s Expedition Earth South Pole Expedition. I have recently published a small piece with Todd over on the U.S. Outdoors Today site entitled “10 Questions with Todd Carmichael.” I will be putting up the full interview on The Adventurist, which features some bonus questions and other fun information that the U.S. Outdoors Today site doesn’t cover.
