As I suspected, Tucows has made blogrolling not only slower but now you get lovely ads when you click – but, hey, you can pay to remove them. Yah, no thanks. The site’s been disabled for months and now that it’s back with a redesign (that Tucows didn’t bother to announce). The site is painfully slow – like almost a minute to load pages slow. Why would I want to pay for a slow ass user site and embedded ads when I can simply move the links over to my blogroll within WP? (The blogrolling.com site is slow, not the redirect with ads, to be clear.)
Thanks Tucows for ruining a pretty good service. You’re not the first and won’t be the last to buy a service and gut it. Hey, at least the Blogrolling people made some coin, right?
You’ll notice a bit of moving stuff around in the columns to balance them out as much as I can. C ya, blogrolling!
Angela,
I’ve just been using my google reader (feedreader) to build my blogroll list.
That way I only maintain one list, the list I read and the one I publish (and you can easily omit blogs but not putting them in a shared category)
