All right, which one of you bastards stopped linking to me?

I was all set to have a little bloggy party. “Another blogging milestone reached!” etc. There I was sitting pretty on the rankings of every blogger’s favourite website, Technorati.

98 blogs link here
That is the message that greeted me when I visited Technorati’s home page yesterday. Fans of round numbers will undoubtedly have noticed that 98 is tantalisingly close to 100 (which is technically less of a round number than it is two round digits and a straight digit).
Of course, we are talking about Technorati here, so I could probably get a more accurate idea of how many blogs are linking to this one by throwing darts. But still, I could say that 100 blogs link here according to Technorati, which is good enough for me.
So what did I see when I logged in to Technorati today?
This reminds me of the good old days of Ceefax. Page 360, motor sport news, was always one of my favourites. So I would call page 360 and keep my beady eye on that top line that scrolls through all of the page numbers. Almost there. 356, 357, 358, 359… WTF? 361?! I have to wait a whole while longer.

Might be mine… I don’t have a static blahgroll or whatever list, instead I just randomly show four or five links from it. Depending on what was linked when Technorati trolled my site…

Yeah… I was being a bit flippant of course. I know that the Technorati counter only counts links from the past 180 days, so it will just be a post that was linked 181 days ago or something…

I can never tell when you Brits are being flippant or not.
(Oh I called you a Brit because I know how much Scots love that.)

I don’t mind being a Brit, but if you call me English…!
