The Blog Tree - Blog Tag

Posted by Marshall on December 23, 2006 | Link It

I was blog tagged by Jonathan Mendez a couple of weeks ago in this game of Blog Tag (and since have been tagged by Gary Angel and someone else) so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do this 2 more times with 5 more facts about myself each time (that people don't know about me).

Anyway, yesterday I was having a Google Talk Chat with Marcus Van Soest, an artist friend located in The Hague, and he mentioned he got a Google Alert about my blog tag. I mentioned to Marcus that it would be nice to have a map of all of this and he's looking into that. Meanwhile, B.L. Ochman was tagged and in her post she mentions a Blog Tree created by SoloSeo that tracks all the tagged individuals in this game and those who took the challenge and wrote up 5 things about themselves. Naturally, I looked for my name and found it about two thirds down the Blog Tree.

    2. Matt Cutts
    3. Vanessa Fox
    4. Adam Lasnik (go)
    5. Danny Sullivan (go)

And Later on, I found some of the other people I tagged.

Not everyone responded yet (including Liz Camps of Green Media Inc)- and I'm not sure what "go" means and how someone formally "ends" - but it's interesting to see who's on the list.

What I'd like to see is a map and when I used the TouchGraph Google Browser it crashed IE7, so I won't be doing that again.

Any ideas on how to map all of this (and get the entire tree)? I'm open to suggestions as I'm curious to see what the picture of interlinking looks like.

Kartoo kinda does some of what I want (if I search on a specific string that most blog posts include - that it all started from Jeff Pulver (boy, must he be getting a link blast out of this idea!).

But I have to keep looking at successive maps and I've never been a fan of Kartoo.com, simply because the interface is not really that helpful for most of the tasks I'd use a search engine for (with all the Flash built in - and it never got much of a readership).

Certainly, Marcus Van Soest at www.Powerpainter.org probably has the tools to do what I'm suggesting, and I hope he does.

It seems we have all been slacking or directing our focus elsewhere during the holiday season. With many authors on hiatus, there is precious little melange dish to offer you today save their holiday greetings. So on with the show…AdHurl…

Botanicalls - Your House Plants Can Send Twitter MessagesCenterNetworks January 6, 2009
<p> <a href="http://www.botanicalls.com/"><img border="0" align="left" width="200" src="http://static.centernetworks.com/botanicallsleft.png" alt="botanicalls" height="70"></a>NY-based <a href="http://www.botanicalls.com/">Botanicalls</a> offers a service that lets your house plants talk to you. Basically your plants can tell you when they need water, sun, food, etc. The service explores the relationship between humans and their plants. They offer a DIY kit that you hook into your ethernet network. After the connections are made, that's when the Twitter magic takes over! </p> <p> The kit has to be soldered together but apparently it only takes an hour. I think they would sell more kits if they found a local electrician to do the soldering for a few dollars if the customer wants their kit completely assembled. </p> <p> Here's an example <a href="http://twitter.com/pothos">plant on Twitter</a>. Here's a demo of what Botanicalls does and how it works: </p> <p align="center"> <embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/30a2df62/" width="545" height="451" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_30a2df62" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/4lnnt5v4fISGuyWt25E0IFWexM8/a"><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/4lnnt5v4fISGuyWt25E0IFWexM8/i" border="0" ismap></a></p><div> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=A1GJuZOS"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?i=A1GJuZOS" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=z1MxhyCX"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?i=z1MxhyCX" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=yjxTUZ50"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?d=52" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=fdBkpJLt"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?d=131" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=ysv7bGqs"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?d=159" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=QCfyaBJn"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?d=160" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=rEsAacWE"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?d=158" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=WxhUOa2k"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?i=WxhUOa2k" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?a=wasmv2Tc"><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/Centernetworks-?i=wasmv2Tc" border="0"></a> </div><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Centernetworks-/~4/tGi7e2m5PFA" height="1" width="1">
