TTLB is the least of the three, though.<BR/><BR/>In the past TTLB helped me find new blogs; nowadays, HH and the JIBs help me find more.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-72110264498942902672007-07-11T10:08:00.000-04:002007-07-11T10:08:00.000-04:00sarcasm>Who's in charge of the community?Why I nev...sarcasm>Who's in charge of the community?<BR/>Why I never would have guessed!/sarcasm><BR/><BR/>There are some useful things that can be found out by Technorati, TTLB and sitemeter.<BR/><BR/>Technorati is how I found out about the Kiryat Moshe blog. In the past TTLB has introduced me to new blogs too.<BR/><BR/>But like you, I'd prefer to have more readers. That's something that doesn't seem to be in the cards though.Soccer Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142724823098073038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-59891669453477959282007-07-11T09:44:00.000-04:002007-07-11T09:44:00.000-04:00You do know who the person is in charge of that co...You do know who the person is in charge of that community, right? :P (I haven't looked at it in a year.)<BR/><BR/>Hehe. I was debating how I would say it - oldest blogger in terms of years blogged, or - as I noticed when I was looking at everyone's profiles - good old [no pun intended] age.<BR/><BR/>I believe Technorati is pretty much links as well, but it phases out old links so it's more "current".<BR/><BR/>Personally, if I was forced to pick, I'd rather have traffic than links (though I'd rather have good discussion than either), primarily because that generally leads to good discussion. I don't write much that is particularly link-worthy, but on the rare occasion I do, I've found that the links will follow anyway.<BR/><BR/>But to be truly honest, I don't pay too much attention to that stuff at this point. I think that the primary service of things like TTLB are to allow other J-bloggers to see what's out there, what's going on, etc. Between Haveil Havalim, the JIBs, and those bloggers who point out a lot of what's out there, you get a better idea than you do from TTLB. This is partly because all of those are a bit more wide-ranging than TTLB, which doesn't really track the blogs not on it - and you can't force everyone to be on it. More importantly, it requires the administrator to manually add each blog. There's simply too many (thankfully) to do so... but maybe I'll start adding blogs again, anyway.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.com
