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.<br><br>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". <br><br>"Which blogs account for the most frequently-read feeds in my bloated RSS reader?" didn't have the same ring to it...MartinFri, 09 Feb 2007 12:11:01 -0000http://www.martinstabe.com/blog/2007/02/08/some-print-recognition-for-the-journalist-bloggers/#comment-1928302What 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.<br><br>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.CharlesFri, 09 Feb 2007 11:45:16 -0000http://www.martinstabe.com/blog/2007/02/08/some-print-recognition-for-the-journalist-bloggers/#comment-1928301I'll add my voice to the chorus calling for your inclusion.
