Ascending the Technorati Rankings

September 3, 2006

Web2.0 Experience has ascended the Technorati rankings and now sits at 296 thousandth place!

When my blog launched it was ranked at around 1,500,000th place and I remember seeing the traffic history box below and saying to myself “what’s the likelyhoold that I would reach the top 100,000?”.

Over the past month my ranking has climbed to 296, 578th place. This is faster and higher then I’d imagined. Will it take just a month to crack the top 100,000?Time will tell, how much is yet to be determined.

I’ll let you know!


The Toronto Start to launch STARPM

September 3, 2006

The Toronto Star is launching a downloadable newspaper this Tuesday. You can subscribe here. This is pretty interesting and I’ve subscribed to the service. Essentially I will receive a daily PDF condensed version of the star and each page is 8 1/2 x 11 inches so it can be printed out if need be.

It should be interesting to see if they use web2.0 tools with this PDF paper or not. They are pushing content to readers, but I wonder if they will seek out opinion and comments and allow for conversation?
