N.Z. Bear's blog ecosystem is back with some new fillips. Go check it out.

I am fascinated by the fact that we are down the list a bit from where Tres Producers was even though Blogcritics.org gets about five-times the traffic. The ecosystem is based upon links from other blogs, and my guess is that we have a lot of non-blog readers, whereas Tres Producers had very few.

Also, even though we cover everything, and have been quite spiritedly political of late, we are perceived as a pop culture site, and a lot of bloggers don't see this as "serious." Just a guess.

If you're a blogger, link us, my friends, link us. We would enjoy hanging out in your permanent blogroll (see here to use one of our cool logos), and we would think it swell of you to comment upon some particular story of ours that may catch your fancy. Thanks.
