According to the TribbleAgency forum, Linkie Winkie is an experiment in links, not unlike the early "let's see how far an e-mail can get" experiments that ended in avalanches of email to the hapless experimenters. My guess is that the point is to see how many links get posted over the entire blogosphere by people linking to each other about Linkie Winkie. At any rate, I've started a blog just for Linkie Winkie comments with links -- I hope people will comment to the blog's single thread and leave links to their sites from there, and visit other commenters' blogs. Do visit: http://linkiewinkietracker.blogspot.com. The way I figure it, if the Linkie Winkie "algorithm" doesn't pick up an entire blog devoted just to it, it's probably a human. :) I noted you're already there, Eric, which was how I came to post here at your blog. Thanks for leaving the winks!
