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.

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