Comments on: My thoughts on the Technorati Fave Swapping http://www.modernstreet.com/general/my-thoughts-on-the-technorati-fave-swapping/ A Blog on and about the Web Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:15:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: DarrinW http://www.modernstreet.com/general/my-thoughts-on-the-technorati-fave-swapping/#comment-42 DarrinW Thu, 03 May 2007 16:08:17 +0000 http://www.modernstreet.com/general/my-thoughts-on-the-technorati-fave-swapping/#comment-42 You're welcome Maki :) There is only space for 100 blogs to be there on the Top 100 list, but the blogosphere is much bigger than that, as we well know. If this Technorati Fave Exchange could actually be an hitherto unexplored avenue towards a "build community" factor amongst bloggers, by encouraging bloggers to visit blogs and leaving comments, than it certainly would not ruffle any feathers (in Technorati or elsewhere) and this is actually a good positive to it that has probably yet to be explored further by Technorati Fave Exchangers/Swappers, so far as I notice. That was also probably the whole purpose of the Technorati Blog Fave feature all along, although it remained underutilized all this while and would have remained so, until you placed it on the blogosphere radar. I guess when it's done as in an automated, robotic way, then that is when it could be flagged as "gaming" to some. :) You’re welcome Maki :)
