In the beginning there was BlogExplosion, and it was okay. Now there’s a rash of link exchange blog services, the latest two are BlogCrowd and Wolf Surfer. I use them to generate traffic, of course, but also in the same way as I used to use the most recently updated list at weblogs.com, Popdex, Blogdex and Blogsnow– as a way to find stuff for Spinneyhead. The quality, in design and content, fluctuates wildly and I’m not finding as many interesting posts as I used to, but the whole process is strangely compelling and addictive.
