I find it hard to believe that they are still doing very well. They have a
lot of competition and, with almost 100 million blogs, there is a decreasing
level of interest, as well as an increase in noise. Again, I don't know if
they actually prosper. Still a good way to track link in almost real-time.
Best wishes,
Roy
