Wow, I never thought of that.  That is even more evidence that "links" are artificial ways to rise in search engines rather than real connections to other people/vloggers.   Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, Activist Advisor: The Immortality Institute Hoboken, NJ http://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/ 201-656-3280     ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Streeter To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 4:58 PM Subject: [videoblogging] Re: Making directories I use Wordpress and it allows you to ad comments to each link. But I don't use this feature, I opt to categorize my links. So I guess that accomplishes kind of the same thing. One of the problems of linking in an aggregated media world is the fact that if you get most of your vlogs via aggregator then how likely are you to see links on any given blog? I rarely if ever visit any actual video blog unless I'm commenting and the comment pages of most blogs don't show the links. It seems that at that point links are more important to machines (like search engines) seeing relationships than for humans.
