We are family. I got all my weblogs with me.
Weblogs have pedigrees and bloodlines? I hadn’t given the concept of relationships between blogs (or Weblog Genealogy as Stepan Riha calls it) much thought until I ran across BlogTree this week. I suppose it makes sense, seeing as many of the stalwart online journals that we know and love have inspired or begat other weblogs. In my case, it was primarily Matt Haughey and his (at the time) fledgling Metafilter site that convinced me I had enough crap floating around in my cranium to warrant my own slice of the daily raving ether. I have to admit that the whole concept of BlogTree is a bit addictive. Once you register your own weblog on the site, you can relate parent and offspring blogs to yours, helping define the growing family tree of weblogs. Here’s where my weblog currently sits in the BlogTree hierarchy. This is like sequencing the genome, except it’s much easier on the pocketbook. Get going and help fill in the gaps between the branches by adding your own blogs to the tree. Go on… it’ll be fun.
