No doubt there will be a tsunami of discussion about weblogger's rankings in the UserLand Site Report:Ranking by Page-Reads chart. I was just about to pooh-pooh the phenomenon when I noticed that I'm at #64 just now ;-) Why? I don't know. It's not that I written anything insightful in the past few days. In fact, it's downright humbling to see all the new webloggers dancing to the tune of Radio and many seem so much more interesting than me ;-)!!

Just wait until I start insisting that my studenst read my weblog at the start of next semester. A captive audience. Would this be an abuse of my power d'you think ;-)

Another bummer today is the fact that Duncan Yo Yo leapfrogged over me to the #3 spot in the Google Search: duncan. I wouldn't mind so much except that the Duncan Yo Yo site is a construction zone:

"You may also have noticed that our webstore has changed A LOT! Since we have so many new items to add, we figured we would upgrade the store a bit. What you see now is sort of a "placeholder" store until the real one is ready again. Don't worry though, all of your orders still go to the same place, and will be filled as quickly as we can! We at Duncan apologize for any inconveniences this temporary store might cause, as well as the fact that it's mighty ugly. ;)"

PS In case you, dear reader, think that I am egomaniac rest assured that the above is all tongue in cheek. Besides, I'm upping the ranking of Duncan Yo Yo by linking to them!
