Only 3-4 million links get shared every day on Twitter. The blogosphere has much more weight, while Twitter it seems is a self perpetuating bubble/echo chamber. Koolaid = blindness. We can't forget how quickly online media moves. Where will be in 5 years? Twitter?

It is sort of an "old boys club" now where those with higher rank will be seen far more often than those with a lower rank so if you don't have rank you will have to work even harder to be noticed enough to develop a rank. In addition, the search functions also don't seem to pull up anything nearly as recent as they used to. All the content that I search for is now at least 6 to 8 hours old and some is as old as a day. That's not going to keep me interested... .-= Wellescent Health Blog´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.wellescent.com/blog/siteblog.php?entry=all_that_because_you_don_t_like_wheat" rel="nofollow">All That Because You Don't Like Wheat?</a> =-.

I used it to browse through the web of people who linked to me, people who linked to them, etc. Now... uhm, no. I can understand the need to monetize the site, but they've gone the way of Yahoo and eliminated what people went to the site to see. I remember the day I did a search on Yahoo and instead of seeing the results I expected, I saw a bunch of paid ads. They'd overnight switched from being a web directory to being a paid ad directory, as far as I could tell. I switched to Google as my home page and never went back.

They aren’t using rel=”tag” any more
They don’t list blog reactions

Then again I am trying to avoid being biased due to my Blogcatalog connection.
