A little weblog linking

July 4, 2000 by Michael Boyle

action today. Or, as the philosopher said, “inter-blog linky love”. My virtual neighbours seem to be rotating among a very limited group: this week it’s Prattle to the left of me, Utsler to my right. Which is great, both lovely sites for sure.

In other news, Swallowing Tacks again sports a new look, definitely making the argument that Elise is the most active re-designer of her personal site around. I always like what she does, though, so that’s not a complaint in the least.

Vanessa’s Eleven Seconds seems to be undergoing some radical re-branding.

I missed a couple of things

yesterday. First is that Jezebel turned four, which is pretty damn cool. Congratulations, Heather.

The rest (for those of you that were here earlier)? Bowdlerized! Shamelessly removed. Suffice it to say that a) I think Jason Kottke has a point and I hope he isn’t shouted down; b) I like the weblogs and other personal sites that I visit regularly (mostly those on the right) as they are today; c) I don’t think that novelty or innovation is of greater value than many of the other qualities that good weblogs possess.

So I was checking

the difference between Google and Alta Vista’s new Raging search engines by doing a search on “michael boyle montreal” and comparing the results. Google was much much better. It put my old but still nominally active personal page at the very top and caught all my hits from when I worked at CTHEORY and put them near the top too.

The best thing, though, was to see my listing in the library. I’d never seen that before – I’d forgotten that they put theses in the library.

On second thought

it’s not so bad. At least it’s getting a bit nicer out.

Not much blogging

today – I’ll be in meetings until 5 or 6. But – a teaser – there’s a sooper-secret new feature that will be ready to unveil in the next couple of days. It’ll blow your mind. Or not.
