IDblog ... an information design weblog

Six degrees of weblogs

Ah, it's a Friday evening, so my apologies in advance for a bit of a digression. I hadn't been to Doc Searls in a while, so I was scrolling and came across an entry pointing to RageBoy (who has the most fabulous tagline, "where we write at night when we should be sleeping. and it shows."), who pointed to something called BlogTree.

BlogTree is sorta the web equivalent of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Visitors can register their weblogs and say who inspired them. This creates weblog parents, siblings (blogs with shared parents), and children. Just for fun, I went ahead and registered IDblog. Dave Winer's Scripting News has 180 children, so it may be the grandaddy of all weblogs!
