I’ve heard a lot of talk in the blog world about Technorati, but I never paid attention to it. Then yesterday I found we♥music’s profile! Not just that, but there is also a ranking number assigned to it. Obviously we’re not as popular as some bloggers (we’re not as popular as CrankyPants, she’s ranked at 22,289). Here’s some other ranking to kind of show you where we’re at:

DATA AS OF 5/28/2007
The biggest blogs in the blogosphere, as measured by unique links in the last six months.*

* I am assuming these unique links that people are linking TO us? If that is the case, I am also assuming that the more comments you make on other blogs, the more “links” back to your blog. It seems like a plausible theory.

You can check out how your blog fairs against the world by going to Technorati.
UPDATE: Changing your url ultimately lowers your ranking.

The Decemberists – The Soldiering Life

Since today is Memorial Day, at least in America, I thought it would be fitting to put up this song, “The Soldiering Life” by the Decemberists. If you’re not familiar with the Decemberists, their singer/songwriter is Colin Meloy. He seems to write all their songs as if they were written in the early 1900s (complete with parchment paper and quill pen).
