Nice item on whether or not to get rid of one's blogroll. Why? As a means of countering the counting of links that produce those 'Top 100' blogger lists that "are hurting us." For example, Doc Searles makes the bland assertion that blogging isn't school, commenting, "These good folks succeed by earning links, not grades. It’s a much better, and a much flatter, system." But when links have nothing to do with content, with what's being read, it's also pretty meaningless. I have never had a blogroll for precisely this sort of reason, and I intend to continue not having one. Via Full Circle.
