An interesting side note about this. The basis for the ecosystem is links. I have to wonder the extent to which RSS readers are affecting the rankings.

For example, I have a blogroll (which plays into the ecosystem), but I no longer actually am maintaining that blogroll, but instead am using Jaeger as an RSS reader. In fact, I’ve been toying with dropping the blogroll, though I’ll likely instead do an export from Jaeger and have that SSIed in (thus losing the last-updated ticks and the link buttons, but also speeding up the page load).

My point is (I think I have a point I’m driving at here), as folks rely on something other than blogrolls for the sites they visit, the ecosystem rankings get distorted.

I expect you to drum up another dozen links from other sites before supper time, or no gruel for you!
