I subscribe to a couple of sites that keep track of what people are linking to from minute. Sort of like how Google decides what sites are “good,” but in real time and you do not have to do the search in the first place — a hyper-global popularity contest. I have been discovering a few odd things. For instance, this morning these three sites came up as having a bunch of people suddenly link to them.
I suppose that there is nothing really shocking about this. It could simply be coincidence. However, the thing I found most odd about this is that these would have been great results for a search I did not do a few days ago when Gretchen and I were puzzling over how we were supposed to prune the raspberry bushes we planted this spring.
This is not the first time this has happened.
