Stale Rolls

This post got me thinking and got me to expand my blogroll about beyond the echo chamber. On a side note, I'm thinking of creating a separate roll for blogs that don't ping the right server(s) for Blogrolling to alert me to updates. It's a real drag not knowing who's fresh and who's not.

Diversified Homogenity: A Cure for the Stale Blogroll

Click through some people's blogrolls and you'd get the impression that the blogosphere was comprised of nothing but middle-class, white American males whose only interest in life is discussing politics.

The in their blogrolls could simply be replaced with ditto marks and it wouldn't affect them at all.
