I humbly submit: the Daypop Top 40 is more useful than Blogdex. Why? Well…

Turning boredom into bookmarklets: the unimaginatively named new windows works sort of like the ubiquitous randomwalks check-box. Sort of, in that it ignores local, email and javascript links, and—most importantly—in that you can take it with you.

They finally turned off the little javascript favorites include, and the SHF BlogTracker is still, to use the technical term, fux0red. (I know that more than three of my faves have shown up in changes.xml in the last two days.) So all of this pinging and crawling and XML-RPCing adds up to what, exactly? Nothing useful, that’s for sure.
