I've had positive experiences with limited application of blogroll linking - obviously, techniques lacking tact are going to be caught and punished. It's just like all SEO efforts ... do it piece-meal and intelligently using varying techniques.

Re: Bitly Blocked By OpenDNS – FAIL

I use bit.ly for my own URL shortening purposes ... with the recent surge (nay, crescendo) in Twitter traffic, it's not surprising to see such a tremendous increase in bit.ly traffic over the past few months. I can't imagine OpenDNS will have them blocked for much longer.

I love the OpenDNS - the "open hierarchy" concept seems like it can/should be applied virtually everywhere. What other advantages are there to it?

Re: Feedburner Subscriber Data For Socialstreaming and Lifestreaming

I've yet to setup a feedburner account, but I think it might be a good choice for my brand of companies once we establish a stronger blogging presence on the web.

I'm glad to hear that Blogcatalog isn't trying to implement commenting from within their own site - there are already too many mediums that splinter conversations across the web. I'd love to see standardization in how we communicate, since the various RSS/feed aggregating sites are ways to mitigate the problem of having multiple sites that do virtually the exact same thing. Open source, portable solutions for all!

Dan Thies free material covers some excellent fundamentals of link building. I've employed many of his suggestions, as well as yours, and am experiencing wonderful results increasing the pagerank of my own personal blog, as well as other avenues of social networking.

Re: Disqus – Why 95% Of Bloggers Should Switch

Once Disqus is optimized for SEO, I wouldn't mind using it on any website. I think it's a great concept, much like Gravatar - there are universal tasks/things about the way we interact with the internet that is just duplication ... centralization of these tasks is necessary and inevitable.

Disqus has an interesting opportunity to capitalize in this area if they do so right now. Information indexing is at a strange crossroads, indeed.

Awesome list. Very cool to see how Wolfram processes those questions.
