Private Thoughts Made Public

Those of you who have a blog will already know this, and those of you that don’t, won’t. This is aimed at those that don’t, in order that after reading it, they do.
Every time I make a post on this blog, it pings a service at weblogs.com, which updates it’s main page and puts me at the top of the list of “most recently updated blogs”, which is fantastic. For all of about three seconds. Because when someone else updates their blog and pings weblogs.com, they go to the top of the list. I’ve spent the last half an hour browsing through the list on weblogs.com, and found a couple of blogs I’m going to keep an eye on.
And in that half an hour, I’ve slipped from number 1 to number 1943.
