Vanity: Hawk Wings in Aussie Top Five
Craig Harper emails to say that the Ultimate Aussie Blogroll (as seen in the sidebar of his site
or in the screenshot here), based on Technorati rankings, now lists Hawk Wings as the fifth highest-ranked Australian blog.
Of course, Technorati may no longer be the power in the land that it once was, and so may have become an unreliable guide, but it’s still nice to think that “a niche in a niche market” (mail.app on Mac OS X) site could rate so well.
It almost makes up for people who feel free to rip off the Hawk Wings Plug-in and Add-on list and run it on their own web site
without attribution. (But not any more!)
Or others who are content to rip off just the occasional post
and run that as their own.
Needless to say, Hawk Wings would still rank 25,480,321th on Technorati (where it began) without people like you who read, post comments and improve it. So all of this is really a round-about way of saying thanks for coming.
Thanks!
[Thanks too to Craig, Scott and Robert]

Ah, sorry, Tim. That’s what happens when you read “[Thanks too to Craig, Scott and Robert]” as “[Thanks, Craig, Scott and Robert]“.

No worries :)
I sometimes wish that there were more of me anyway!
