I've been wanting to post about Cre8Buzz for so long. I've mentioned the 'Buzz several times loosely, but when I started out this month of gratitude posting, my first intention was to post on my gratitude for Cre8Buzz. I've tried, I have several drafts. The problem isn't that I can't think of what to say; the problem is that there is so much that I want to say. Too much to be brief and to the point. There is so much that I want to say, yet I can't find the right words. Yes, even for me, words are sometimes hard to come by.
In my mind, this Gratitude For Cre8Buzz post would be the grand supreme of all gratitude posts. This post would also turn the entire world on to the 'Buzz!! I would be specific, and pointedly direct in making it known that I have discovered my online oasis, and every soul within the world vibe web would flock to partake in the magic.
I wanted to say a short "thank you" to each real, live, person I've met, and become friends with, in the 'Buzz. I started to make a list of names, and tried to give a brief "thank you blurb of gratitude" with each one. (If I had a scanner that works with Vista, then I could show you the ridiculous list of names.)
I gave up after about 25. It's cause the people have become important in my real life...my blog life...I think they would probably say the same thing about me too. Because of the Anthill, we seem to have developed this sort of transcendent blogging bond. Which we'd all agree is equivalent to a "real world" friendship. How can I, Piper of Love, be brief and to the point with any of that??
What about the 'Buzz friends that I have, who I also consider "real" friends because of the 'Buzz...but would never have met without the 'Buzz? How can I be brief about that?
Perhaps the greatest question of all; how can I seriously, and convincingly, post on this MAD LOVE, and not seem like a freak show to anyone not familiar with Buzzlove??
Cre8Buzz is the place where Buzzlove flows like sweet cherry wine, and puts real smiles on all of our Buzztastic faces!! All of us who are in the know, know that Cre8Buzz earned a seat in the polls for the Mashable Open Web Awards. We all voted, spread the word, hoped, crossed our fingers, said prayers...every single Ant in the Anthill voted, and most of their friends voted...yet it wasn't enough. If Buzzlove equaled results, Cre8Buzz would have won by a landslide! It would have been a shut out. No question.
The reason we didn't win is because there still are not enough people who know. My mission is to make it known...make Buzzlove feel so good that it's palpable, and soon the whole world would know how great Cre8Buzz is! I challenge all of my cohorts to spread the word, get creative, and let Antman know what the 'Buzz means to you.
Leave a comment on this post, and I will deliver all of them to Antman myself. Think of this as one HUGE Thank You Card! All you have to do is sign it!!
Let's let Antman know that Buzzlove is the unintentional return of a life time! Let's let him know that Buzzlove will sustain him until we go world wide, and sweep the next Open Web Awards!!
Whatever you know how to do to spread this post around and get more signatures, please do it!! Link to this post, post about this post, and let's give Antman a Christmas present that he'll never forget...and keep a big smile on his face clean through 2008.
GO TEAM!

I love the Buzz! I loved it so much I had to take a break from it and start paying attention to my kids. But I think I am back.
You are the coolest Ant I know!! Happy Holidays!
luv luv luv the buzz! it's warm and fuzzy and a very genuine place to hang out. feel very lucky to be a part of it. MANY THX to the Antman and MANY THX to Piper for keeping us on track with showing our gratitude.
Love the Buzz, love my fellow BuzzBoard members, have been pimpin the Buzz all month :)
At first, I was amazed at how the buzz like quadrupled my traffic, but that was so quickly overshadowed by the sheer quantity and quality of friends that I have made because of it. That's worth more than any amount of traffic.
Merry Christmas Antman!!!
You are like off the chain dude!@!
Happy New Year!
Well said!! The Buzz is a warm, wonderful place and you make it extra special, Piper!
Thanks to Antman and all the amazing members!!
Great post! I'm a fairly new member of the Buzz but have been having a lot of fun with it. I wish you, all members, and the Ant stud... er... man... a very Merry Christmas!
wish I had more time to spend there! I'm just glad to be a part!

I only check in once in a while, but thoroughly enjoy all I read. Piper, you are an excellent blogger and have grown so much since you first began. I will keep checking in and someday join.
Mad Crazy Love to the Antman and the cre8buzz community. I love it over there.
Here's to a great place to hang out. I already love the friends I have made here and am looking forward to many new friends. Thanks, Antman, for creating such a wonderful place to be in blogland. (thanks Piper as well for giving us this opportunity)
I have only been Buzzing for about a month. But, I must say that it has been a GREAT month!!!!!
I have been exposed to a bunch of great people who write thought provoking/jaw dropping/gut busting/heart wrenching blogs.
These same people have been exposed to my little slice of the web (which on it's good days can aspire to be thought provoking/jaw.... And they have shared with me and made my blogging MUCH more rewarding!
It's all thanks to the Antman and his fellow behind the scene buzzers.
It the site perfect? Hell, no. But yet it is perfect!
Make sense? It does if you know the Buzz.
THANK YOU ANTMAN!
Love the Buzz!! Thanks Antman!!! You ROCK!
Lov'in the Buzz and Antman. This is a place filled with greatness and a fabulous mix of people full of talent, friendship and laughter. Send'in my love and Thank you to you all!
Thanks Antman, you rock!
Cre8buzz.com is the most refreshing site on the web! Especially for those of us sick with how frustrating Facebook and Myspace are. I have found a home!
Merry Christmas to Antman and all those buzzers out there!! I wish I could visit every single page but there are too many us now.

Buzzzz buzzzzz buzzzzz! I love it there. Thanks or doing this Piper.
Great job, Piper!
Hey Antman, life has kept me away from the Buzz recently...hospital kinda junk, etc...but the Buzz is the only online social network I keep hanging with.
Thanks, Antman and Merry Christmas or happy whatever you celebrate. :)
Antman - you totally rock! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Antman- thanks for all! You are the bomb! We love the buzz!
I haven't spent enough time over on Cre8buzz yet to really get into it but I must say that the handful of readers the Missives have got as a result of me just linking to The Misssy M Missives, and People Who Blog But Shouldn't (my two blogs) have been worth getting involved to the extent I have.
The readers haven't been many, but they have definitely been quality.
And I thank Cre8buzz for letting me have a window for quality readers (and writers)to jump through.
Finally, a place where I feel I belong. Met some incredible, accepting and supportive buzzers.
Go cre8Buzz, GO!

I don't get over there as often as I would like but now that I am on semester break I hope to have the time to socialize a bit more. It is the only social network that I have joined where I continue to remain active. Thanks!

Happy Holidays!
Loving the Buzz, keep on buzzing!
Circle gets a square! Go Antman and go buzz!
Hey Antman! Cre8buzz isn't "just another website", it takes the term "website community" to an entirely different level. I feel amazingly blessed to have been welcomed into the Buzz and treated like a long lost relative! The friendships I have made already have enriched my life and I could not imagine waking up without the Buzz in my life. Great job!
Happy Holidays, Antman!!
I love the buzz! It's one of the friendliest communities around.
Thanks antman! buzz is great! Happy Holidays!
I'm new to the Buzz and it has been fabulous! Thanks Antman!
Happy Holidays to all! I like that the buzz is friendly and that the Antman gets around to motivate. Very cool.
Thanks Antman! And hey Piper, if you have people you would like to invite, but don't have the invitations to send them, let me know. I have a bunch, but don't know enough people to send them to. I want to send them out, but alas, I don't have email addresses to send them to. Anyway, thanks Antman, and thank you Piper, for this idea of sending MAD LOVE to the Buzz!
I think we can all agree that buzzlove is the best love!
Merry Christmas, and much love to the Buzz!!!

Without the Buzz, I wouldn't have met so many righteous bloggers. I love what the Buzz stands for and am so thrilled to be a part of it!
To all Buzzy pals: Thank You and I love you.
To Antman and the Buzz Team: ROCK ON! THANK YOU & KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
To Piper: XOXOXOXOX
Hear hear! cre8buzz rocks!
Although I have met great bloggers through other sites, this is the first site where I really feel part of it.
There is a great atmosphere and everyone is really friendly; its like one big family.
Thanks to Antman and the rest of the team at cre8Buzz for giving us a great place to be ourselves.
Like nen said, there are so many great buzzers out there now.
Merry Christmas and thanks to all for making it such a great place.

I heart the buzz and the new little family on the buzz and all the crazyness that comes along with it..
So late to the party as usual! But Antman, you know how grateful I am. Best wishes to you and everyone you love for 2008!
Ya the best, and for me, you've made everything more fun.
What a great thought, Ms. Piper, very sweet.
Cre8buzz rocks. Plain and simple. :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
You really love the buzz, don't you? I'm slowly liking it too. By the way, I have voted.
I'm kind of a newbie but I'm totally glad I joined. I've already made several new friends. Great job!
The Buzz has introduced me to some GREAT Parents/Friends. It is an honor to be a part of this Family !!!!!
There are times in life where words can not express emotions; times when what we feel is greater than the lexicon will afford. Please consider this one of those life's moments.
Therefore, I ask that all of ya forgive me for the simplicity of my response.
Piper, thank you, thank you!
You Buzzers; I got mad love for ya. As the PG eloquently pointed out; the site ain't perfect; he is right. However, the community is!
Peace ya'll and thanks for ya support! We are you!
Happy Holidays!
The Antman and the boys of cre8Buzz!
First, Piper, let me thank you again for inviting me to the buzz! You're great!
and Antman, Once I got there I pretty much thought I would only talk to Piper but I've met some really cool people. Somehow you managed to create a place that gathered warm and caring people. I can make a fool of myself and not have to run and hide. ...so, Thank You!
(oh and sorry i'm soo late here)
Am I too late to pass along my mad love for the Buzz?!
didn't feel the love so much
I DO love the 'Buzz...It's how I met YOU!
Thanks Antman!!!! It's a great place!
hey there! After all the back & forth on the buzz, this is the first time I checked out your blog! I alternate between cursing & thanking BusyDad for getting me involved with that place!
