I’ve been getting really behind with the stuff that I want to write on plasticbag.org recently, which probably explains why when I do write something it’s fairly hardcore and intensely thought-through rather than a piece of conversational life-fluff.

Nevertheless there is a value to the process, if only in that my link to them (like everyone else’s links to them) constitutes a micro-vote on the utility of the article or resource in question, aiding Blogdex and Daypop reflect the mood of the web-community and helping Google serve the best possible search-results to its visitors…
