As you may already have noticed, I’ve started making link posts which are aggregated daily from my Del.icio.us account. This is because there’s a lot of great stuff that’s worth highlighting, but I don’t feel like trying to manufacture a post about it when someone else has already said all there is to say.

The link posts add to that agenda, and so I hope they add value to the site for you.

  • Pete Cashmore also makes a strong case for these sorts of numbers being compromised by ‘default feeds’ such as Google Readers ‘bundles’ which he says will inflate your figures by around 50,000 simply by being added to a bundle.
  • Anyway, there was a “shopping hive” that seemed to be neglected. I asked about it, got offered to run it and VOILA!!! I am get to invite blogads bloggers into this little hive.
