    He's not too shoddy, is he? But, I wasn't allowed to include him. You got his spot, by a nose.

    Martin isnt in!!

    I haven't seen the spread yet apart from the image above so I couldn't make out all who where in. I assumed Martin was being coy by not including his inclusion in his links above.

    Surly he is the hub of all uk journalism blogging traffic?

    I'll add my voice to the chorus calling for your inclusion. You're at the top of my MyGoogle...

    What I don't really get is this. Blogrolls are fine, in a scratch-your-back way, but aren't regularly updated, and don't do much except tell passing computers that you have a link. Do people really investigate a linkroll of 500 names? I think they'd be more likely to investigate one with 5.

    So... aren't the links that one generates in posts far more valuable and telling? They're like the news as opposed to the masthead. They tell you what's happening. Now, a blogroll of the last 50 links you have (a bit like Delicious, but generated from one's own posts) would be more informative.

    That's a good point. I suspect blogrolls are most valuable for the first few days of a new blog's existence, when they help alert those on the list that a new blog by someone interested in them exists because Technorati eventually spots them. For an established blog, they are probably kind of pointless.

    The idea for this came about from an IM conversation I had with Graham about which blogs rise to the top of the NetNewsWire RSS reader when you turn on "Sort by Attention".

    "Which blogs account for the most frequently-read feeds in my bloated RSS reader?" didn't have the same ring to it...
