Communicate what you'd suggest they do, but I would also dial it down so it doesn't seem very explicit that you want them to do something for you. It's kinda understood that you want them to spread your message or promote your product, but I like the idea about perhaps you want some feedback on this "widget" that you're creating & these bloggers will provide their thoughts or have their readers offer suggestions. Any conversation will help form a relationship. @Dennis – great ideas and suggestion.

Do you want them to provide you with feedback, commentary, or ideas? Are you trying to get them to relay your message to their readers? Or are you trying to learn more about the industry/brand/communities they interact with so you can develop your own relationships down the road?
