taken down my blogroll




I have taken down my Blogroll from my sidebar, and instead replaced it with my new Technorati widget. You can get yours here.

Hmmm so instead of just clicking on a link and going to a favorite blog, I have to click on the widget get another window AND then click on the link. Ugh. More work and I have too many windows open as is, I am less likely to visit your favoites this, but that just may be me Hugh.

Why make Technorati a middle man between you readers - and your blog roll?

What's in it for the readers?

"What's in it for the readers?"

It's isn't just about you, Jeff ;-)

If I wanted to ignore your blogroll I'd read via RSS, part of the reason I read blogs from a browser is to see who they read and follow those link, but it another step away makes it less likely I'll bother as a reader.

So you say, Thomas, so you say...

I, too, have started using my Technorati faves on my site... It's only been a few days, but I think I'm going back to my blogroll. *I* find it a hassle to go through Technorati to read my own favourites, clearly everyone else will... I will add a link to my TecnoratiFaves though...

The trouble with standard blogrolls, useful as they are, is that they're a pain to keep updated.

I do most of my reading through Bloglines these days, anyway.
