In Case You Hate My Site Now
I read this in Wired magazine. After not posting for what seems like a few years, I thought you might find it of interest.
“A friend of mine is on my blog roll, but his blog has become really lame. How do I remove him from my list with pissing him off?”
Very, very carefully. A blog roll is a public declaration of affinity; to axe someone is the ultimate digital diss. So the trick, says Jason DeFillippo, founder of BlogRolling.com, is to take down your entire blog roll. Then, slowly repopulate it over the next few days, making it look like you’re starting from scratch and rethinking the whole thing. Put in a bunch of new sites to help preserve this illusion. It’ll be less obvious that you’ve removed only your pal’s sucky site.

Feel free to axe away on mine, I am done. Glad to see that you are alive though, with the current postings.
