If a blog doesn't link (or syndicate) in the forest, is it still a blog? 
 Joi is busy observing the huge differences between blogging in Korea and elsewhere in the world.
 Is latest post (last link) raises some interesting questions for me, which I posted over here.
 
Quote du jour 
 Jamie Zawinsky: the problem with mash-ups is that once you get past "oh, that's unexpected" and "that must have been difficult", what you're left with is a dj with really fucking terrible taste in music.
 Bonus link: best, most misleading headline of the week.
 
Ties 
 As of last week, I've been married just as long as Woodlief, whose excellent blog I just learned about from Evan Erwin.
 
I'm almost afraid to ask 
 Have you ever heard of most sites in the right column here? Me either. What are they?
 Here's an answer from Bernie Goldbach.
 
Now he can write about cross-management system partnership platform capacity solution architectures 
 Scott Wolf has found BuzzPhraser.
 
Dept. of Corrections 
 To Dave Rogers (whose clever absence of a comments section or an email address requires public responses like this one): That's the way Dave Winer set up the blog at the beginning, and nobody has ever changed it. But a late edit is better than none. Thanks.
 
Perspective 
 Oncee on Charts and Graphs:
 Rich Lee got Instalanched and he shows us a chart of his traffic: On Location With Rick Lee: I've been Instalanched.
 Impressive stuff. I only get a few hundred vistors when I get linked by Doc Searls. Surber got a lot of traffic the other day thanks to links from Michelle Malkin, PoliPundit, American Thinker, Ed Driscoll and others, but he failed to reach Instalanched traffic.
 People tell me the number counts here have to be low. (One blogger tells me, "My blog gets five thousand visits a day. How could yours only get half of that or less?) Maybe because it's not as popular as some people like to think.
 There are two main audience measures in radio ratings: Average Quarter Hour (AQH) and Cume. One measures current listening, the other measures cumulative listening.
 Since this blog has been in one place for a long time (5.5 years), and it's been pointed at a lot by sources that mostly haven't moved, it has accumulated a lot of inbound links. That's what puts it at #18 in the Technorati Top 100. That's a very nice Cume.
 But the daily count has run from a few hundred to a few thousand ever since I started looking, about five years ago. That's a lot more than most, but a lot less than quite a few. In other words, the AQH is respectable, but not A-list, by a long shot. That's confirmed by Bloglines' current Top 200.
 Which is fine with me. In fact, I like it that way. I'd rather the blog be a respectable resource than popular "desination."
 Bonus link: Evan Erwin's top and bottom five feeds.
 
 
Juneday 
 We have Mayday. Why not Juneday? Just wondering.
 I hate that time moves faster as I get older. May was a 31-day month, but I feel like it went by in a week.

Thanks for the link Doc, and I'm glad you dig Tony as well. I also in no way meant to rag on your excellent blog, and I hope I didn't come off that way :)

The "outlinking" sites cited by PubSub in the right hand column of their summary page often are trackback spammers. I recognize one of them after cleaning up following their visits to some Irish blogs.
