I can think of two blogs where, over time, a mutual link came about. It was
never negotiated; we kept track of each other's stories.
Going back to that main topic, the experience of browsing without PageRank
is rather odd. I land on Web sites whose popularity (and hence reliability)
I am unable to estimate. It becomes an issue when I download or run a
script, or when I read questionable text. I never realised how helpful that
tiny green bar actually was.
