Goals

John Edwards' YouTube announcement of his candidacy is the #1 link on the front page at the moment. This is actually a mistake -- all of today's "new" links are actually old and should have registered yesterday or the day before, however they are showing up now because of the correction of a bug. Today was what you would call a major news day -- the execution of Saddam Hussein -- so this may distort the results. This kind of thing is likely to occur from time to time as long as this site in use at the same time as it is in development, and it should serve to remind people that BlogRevolution's results should not be confused for scientific.

On an unrelated note, I feel like reflecting on my goals for the site.

BlogRevolution will never be earth-shattering or paradigm-shifting like YouTube or even digg, but what I would like the site to be is cool and useful and interesting to a lot of people. I hope that it has largely acheived these goals already. It is already cool and useful and interesting to me, for example.

No active promotion has even been done for BlogRevolution, we only recently opened the site up to search engine crawlers to peruse a couple of months ago. There are a few more features that I'd like to see added and a few more bugs lurking aware out there -- the string functions need some work, for example -- and after that the site may be ready for a final "release".
