Our new app, BlogFire, is an RSS reader with push notifications. The app comes pre-packaged with a set of sites/blogs that people can subscribe to so they don't open the app to just a blank screen. We submitted to Apple last week and were rejected today because we need to have written permission from all of the pre-packaged blogs in order to use their names and images in the app.

Of course, trying to get permission from such sites would be a long, horrible process, so we are looking to replace these sites with ones we can get permission from quickly.

Here is a screenshot of what the app looks like on initial launch:

The user can re-arrange/edit the list to their liking by adding/removing sites.

If you own/write a blog and would like to be featured as part of the pre-packaged sites in the app, and you are willing to give written permission to that effect, please email me at [email protected] with "BlogFire" in the subject line. Also include a link to an image/icon/avatar I can use for the site in the app.

This would be a great opportunity to get your blog featured in a shiny new app and potentially increase your readership. The app is free and has some viral sharing components, so we hope it will spread like, well, wildfire.

Also, if you are connected with any of the blogs in the screenshot and would be able to help get permission from them, please email me as well.

Thanks! -Chad, [email protected]

EDIT: In your email, PLEASE also include a link to an image I can use for your site... preferably square at least 48x48
