Blogdom's Bacon
Saturday, June 28, 2003

Ok, it had to happen, it was predicted by many and the realization was only a matter of time: Crummy.com gives us Downhill, the little website blogosphere.us called "as fun to use as it is poorly named" ...

This is like the Oracle of Bacon, but for weblogs. Based on the links between weblogs, it will try to find a path between any two you specify.

Maybe needs some work, though: It's not really fair to accept blogging ecosystem or abstract dynamics as blogs since these and many others are really automated blogrolls -- pathways are artificially short since using Myelin.co.uk as a hop is kind of silly -- that's where Downhill takes their data so it's automatically a bridge point and thus all paths should be two hops max, so with the ecosystem turning up in the path between here and RebeccaBlood.net why wouldn't it show up in the reverse path?

Nevertheless, a fun game.
