Blogrolling.com Fast Losing Credibility
Blogrolling.com has been down most of the last few days and I for one am about ready to toss out their service. I used Blogrolling because it’s easy to add and update blogs to it and it automatically updates all my blogs simultaneously.
I have other options: Wordpress’ native blogroll has its limitations but at least it stays on when your server is on. Technorati also has a similar code to Blogrolling.com. This is the problem with Blogrolling.com and other online services: when they go down you have no contact info or ability to complain. I can’t do my weekly Blog Safari until I get my blogroll going. Unfortunately, that means rebuilding it from scratch. I can guarantee you that unless they provide an explanation that is reasonable when back up, I will get my OPML downloaded safe and sound on my hard drive and get the hell outta dodge.
How long should you wait when online services are down?

I think a couple of days is more than long enough to wait. There’s something with blogrolling.com anyway that uses javascript. From what I understand, technorati and google don’t search (or understand-not sure) javascript, so the links aren’t good for increasing page rank. I’m not sure if that’s what you are using it for, but maybe it’s time to consider something else…

Yeah, I guess i figured it was more convenient for me but with the Javascript considered along with the other stuff, it’s not a good idea at all. I finally got a decent blogroll back up. I know I am missing some people so hopefully no one will get offended.
