I got my first Blogger blog in October 2000, and if I had one a ton of other people had them. That list looks like the A-list. :o) > there's no really directory for text blogs that i know of...did they > not think to do it? > how will we be more successful? You're assuming that the lact of a directory is a problem. The total number of weblogs is an issue (22.3 million and counting according to Technorati). Weblogs.com have been unsuable for anyone except robots for years because of this (it is however extremely valuable for robots). The deal is that video-only blogs are seen as something that should be categorized on a blog-by-blog basis. Weblogs (and mixed-media blogs) are categorized on a post-by-post basis. A directory doesn't make sense, but something that helps me find what I'm looking for is (ie. blog post(s) about what I'm looking for). Video-only blogs haven't really adopted blogging in this respect. It's always dangerous to predict the future, but I can try anyway. I think video-only blogs will take directories to heart because people can't decide if they're blogging or making tv for iPod and PSP. Text blogs and mixed-media will continue like they always have because it's a better way to categorize blogs. - Andreas -- <URL:http://www.solitude.dk/> Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. ------------------------ Yahoo!
