Passing on Technorati Link Count

In Technorati’s latest newsletter, they announced their new Link Count Widget. Add a snippet of code to your blogging software, and you’ll see how many times your posts have been linked to. Kinda cool to see who’s referencing your material (if you got anyone linking to you that is). Otherwise, it’s depressing to see no link counts to your articles.

That’s why I removed it from Pulpconnection. Nah, I did test it out but couldn’t make it fit into the look of the site, and it did seem to really slow down the rendering of Pulpconnection (I guess every post had to connect to Technorati for an updated link count).

So for now, good idea, but I’ll pass.
