Blogdex
Sounds like a lot
of hype for software that takes at most a day to write. Blogdex
ranks popular links in weblogs. Something's definitely wrong with the software
because after indexing 9000 weblogs there'd be way more than 4 instances
of the top ranked link, which at this time, according to Blogdex, is www.humanforsale.com.
I know this because I did this same
experiment and came up with 10 links for that useless page on The
Periodic Table for Men from a pool of several hundred weblogs. Plus, Blogdex
seems to include weblogs into its list of popular links, which defeats it's
purpose in gauging the popular memes of the day.
Someone jumped the gun here by telling the world about Blogdex before it's
ready for primetime.
Update 7/31/01: I may have spoken too soon about the "4 link"
thing. Checking again today, there's a new list of top ten links which leads
me to believe "4 links" means 4 added links since the last
time Blogdex updated. I guess other
people are confused as to what "4 links" means also.
