According to the Blogosphere Ecosystem at The Truth Laid Bear, my blog is a "Crunchy Crustacean". That apparently means that only three other blogs in the ecosystem have linked to me (two of them are Elayne). I just thought that "crustacean" fits my blog, being the Aquaman fan and all.
By the same token, I'm always amused to see my ranking in Technorati: Link Cosmos. To be honest, my blog is mostly writing exercise for me along with a bunch of links I want to check every day. Being very low on the totem pole of blogging doesn't bother me a bit.
Perhaps if my blog was a bit more focused, I'd get more links. If I was only a comic book blogger, or only a political blogger, or only a Mariner fan blogger... but I'm not that focused myself. I don't expect people to want to link to me. How do you categorize a blog like mine? I'm a female blogger, but I don't fit into the whole "female blog" thing that emphasizes gender. I'm somewhat liberal, but I hate all politicians almost equally, so I can't quite fit in on the left. I'm not particularly insightful, nor do I write fantastic articles that people would want to link to. In short, I'm a Crunchy Crustacean of the Blogosphere. Way, way down on the food chain.
And maybe that's not really a bad thing.
