Want to announce a Blog? Why don't you try the free Allscoop RSS feed software. When testing I didn't get one single spamy email back from my automized announcement.
Using Allscoop RSS feed saved me 2 hours of work, that I needed announcing a blog manualy. Less then 5 minutes and I was all set.

A simple click on action brings you to all blogs you listed so far. A click on + allows you to add your blog.

Complete the form an click on okay. Click on the + again and select all the blog engines you want to announce your RSS feed to. Then select the feed you want to announce.

Allscoop rss pro starts to submit your feed.

Some blog engine will require you to manualy fill out some additional information.

After completion you'll get a report telling you where your feed has been added, or it's expacted that your feed will be added.This includes:
- Yahoo, BlogStreet, Syndic8, NewsIsFree, DayPop, Feedster, BlogDex, Popdex, Moreover, RDF-Ticker, BlogDigger, Bloogz, HeadlineSpot, Diarist.Net, easyRSS, NewsXS, Feeds Farm, Newstrove, Sourceforge, FeedPlex, Feed Shark, Blogwise, Boing Boing, Rub Hub, Fyber Search, Technorati, Postami, WeBlogAlot, Feed24, Ice Rocket, Swoogle, Blogz, NewsMob, Complete RSS, 4GuyFromRolla, Feedzie, Loomia, Truth Laid Bear, Rocket Info, Rocket News etc.
