This will be interesting. Blog rolls and bots are usually ineffective, but hopefully these apps will prove otherwise.

Hey Joe… interesting applications.

I never felt comfortable with the notion of a true “blogroll,” just because they got to be too long, and they never gave much of a flavor about ‘why’ I liked certain sites.

I currently use the concept of a “post-roll.” It’s the delicious widget, but displaying only those articles that I slap the appropriate tag upon. It’s not *all* my links, just the ones that I want to share in my sidebar.

They typically stay up long enough for those sites to get credit, and points the attention to the specific content instead of just a blanket endorsement.

The Friend-Roll sounds like another way to point others to the people who are interesting. If I ever get around to designing a new skin for Occam’s RazR, I may look at a way to do just that.
