Tripping down memory lane

File this one under ‘where are they know?’ — it’s Beebo!’s Metalog Ratings of the Most Linked Weblogs, circa 2000. Here’s a taste (The Top 5 — complete with total links recorded):

  1. http://robotwisdom.com/ (44 links)
  2. http://kottke.org/ (42)
  3. http://slashdot.org/ (40)
  4. http://www.metafilter.com/ (39)
  5. http://memepool.com/ (37)

As you can see — some like Kottke and Slashdot have defended their turf admirably against the millions of newcomers. Others like Jorn Barger’s Robot Wisdom and Memepool have long since been lost amidst a salty sea of BoingBoings and Gawkers.

  1. It’s amazing to see SlashDot there with only 40 or so.. That site has become enormous.
