an annoying thing about blogrolling
I get stoked when I see a little [!!] next to entries in my blogroll, because that means "yay! new things to read!". But...people who use Blogger's comments (and not third-party commenting like Haloscan) will often appear as "updated" when just a comment is posted. Because you see, in Blogger land, a comment = a new publishing push (you just don't see it, but that's why it takes "a moment to appear on the site").
I'm all for comments. I LOVE comments. But even more, I really look forward to updated indicators in my blogroll. It is a joyous little occasion when
Caleb pontificates or
Juice talks about air freshener, and I really want to know the latest in the
BFE Bocce Ball scandal.
It's trickeration!
