Staggering news this morning. In a casual perusal of technorati rankings I discovered that I have actually caught up to Speaker of Truth and we are now tied at 82,491. Is there a way to make that flash in big letters??? <flash>82,491!!!</flash> (Use your imagination! Whoa, dude. The air is thin at this altitude!
We both have 42 blogs linking to our blogs. Apparently the number of links is less important since Peter has 286 links to his blog while I have a measley 131.
While I’m on the subject. A couple new and brilliant blogs linked to Lingamish in the last week or so (Grab a Wiki Head badge for your efforts…). They include:
Aussie Christian: David and I trade hat tips from time to time on our rambles around the cyber-outback. Hey Aussie Dude, you’re unranked at technorati but we all know that you are way up there with cool posts on music, Bible, theology. I am so jealous of that facial hair!
epeuthutebetes at Cogito, Credo, Petam: A polyglot ponderer laboring in linguistics and more. Laments a lowly technorati rank but has big ambitions involving the LSA. Nice Cutline theme!
Jared Coleman’s new delectatio Dei blog: Hey what’s the deal with all these blogs with weird names. What’s wrong with a nice normal name like Lingamish?
I got a freebie at Imago Dei thanks to praising fool mentioning me on the latest Christian Carnival. OK, so I nominated my own post… See a pattern here?
Did I mention It Seems to Me… by Bruce Alderman already?!?
Look out, Tyler, I’m on your tail, buddy.
And for all you hierodules aspiring to join the pantheon of Bible-blogdom just a word of warning: Links that are more than 180 days old don’t count toward your blog rank so past rankings are no guarantee of future greatness.
If I could, I would nominate all you guys for “PERSON OF THE YEAR” at Time Magazine. You are responsible for disseminating more useful information than all of the news services put together. Keep up the good work!!
Shucks, Dad. You’ll always be my man of the year.
Help! I must do something about this urgently! Would it help to switch to WordPress? I am actually planning to do this. But then maybe what really matters is not number of links or Technorati ranking but quality. How do we compare on that one?
Who said anything about quality? We’re talking numbers, and numbers don’t lie! When you switch to WordPress (I highly recommend it) you will fall from technorati grace and have to start all over again. And just to show you how fickle numbers are, yesterday technorati only credited me for 30 blogs linking to Lingamish and I was somewhere back in the abyss…
I’ve read the Technorati definitions for links and all and still don’t have a clue what they mean. Can you do me a favor and give it to me in English? (54 blogs and 400 links and not a clue).
Likewise in the fog. Let’s subvert the dominant paradigm. That’s the Jesus way.
I thought subverting the dominant paradigm, of worrying about numbers, was what I was doing. Or we could start a competition for the lowest ranked blog. I’ll probably leap ahead of you on that one when I move my blog to Wordpress.
Better a seedpicker than popular, huh?
Phew, I’m back at 43 blogs again. That was a rough 24 hours.
It is becoming apparent that Kingdom of God values seem to be in conflict with Kingdom of Blog. What to do?
One way of getting extra links is to post to any online forum which has its posts available as feeds. Just link to your blog in the signature of your post and it counts as a real blog linking to yours.
Not that I’d stoop that low myself.
Man, that could get me into the century club! I’ve gotta think about the ethics on this… OK, enough thinking. Where’s the forum. B,)
Any forum. Wigan pigeon fanciers. Whatever.
The ones that I’ve posted on are

[...] have been quiet here for no particular reason – indeed so quiet that Lingamish has been able to catch up with me in the Technorati blog rankings. Should I do something about that? Actually the rankings seem so [...]
Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others.
The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex.
The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat.
The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different.
It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.
Your research stinks.
