Ever find a blogger you really like and wonder “are there other blogs similar to this one?” Well, that’s what BlogCode is trying to do. Mine will be indexed shortly (I filled out a short “code” about my blog and at the end of it I learned that Matt Cutts of Google is similar to me. I already subscribe to Matt, but that does demonstrate that this is a good way to find out if there’s other bloggers who are similar to your interests).
Oh, and Matt, if you ever wanna sneak onto Microsoft’s campus (it’s just half a mile from Google’s in Mountain View) let me know. Our cafeteria isn’t as hip, but I’ll buy you lunch and show you around. Why did I say that? Well, he took photos of Ask Jeeves’ corporate offices today and wondered if he could get access to other Silicon Valley offices for his picture-taking exploits. After all, Google let me onto its campus with my camcorder a while back so turnaround is fair play!
Update: the list of blogs that are similar to mine is up now. Neat, some cool new blogs that I didn’t know about!
Oh, while we’re talking about blogs similar to mine, I see there was a dustup over on Doc Searls blog (and others) about the fact that the Z list is being kept out of the kingdom by the A list bloggers. I guess by linking to Doc’s blog I’m a gatekeeper and I’m just working to keep the Z list down. Hey, it’s a conspiracy. If we only link to each other you’ll never be able to find any new voices, right?
Here, let’s play a game. Everyone in the world say “brrreeeport” on your blog and you’ll be listed on this Technorati page automatically. Heh. There are also no pages on the Internet linked to for that term on Google, Yahoo, or MSN.
So, now you too can take down the man! Get your due! Get around the gatekeepers. Tell all those A list bloggers to screw off and die! Heheh. Or, you can let me own that term all bymyself! Heheh.
[...] About 5 days ago blogger Robert Scoble started an experiment by asking his readers to use the totally unknown and meaningless term “Brrreeeport ” in their blog posts. Since then mostly small bloggers have been concocting Brrreeeport posts. Even though the cause has been taken up by small-time sites, the sheer number of bloggers involved has raised the Technocrati rankings to the point where Brrreeeport is ranked above things like the “Mohammed Cartoon” and “Cheney” as a hot news topic.

This is almost as much fun as the miserable failure googlebomb.

brrreeeport
If for no other reason, than I’m a total follower. Basically, Robert Scoble is asking people to list this nonsensical word to test out search engine speed and blogs. Here’s the search to track it: …
This is very clever. Now it’s working like “virus marketing” to promote some lesser known sites. I wonder if it could help promote a local music event, too?
I’ll add it to our site, just to see what happens.

Brrreeeport – Scoble’s Keyword Experiment.
What is brrreeeport?
It’s a new experiment on keyword relevancy suggested by Microsoft’s employee blogger, Robbert Scoble.
The theory that A-list bloggers only links to each other, thus preventing less-influencial bloggers to ever get a chance to rank high for highly competitive keywords. Robert “coined” this word, brrreeeport and invited less-known bloggers to post it on their blogs in order to track the results and at the same time to help them finally get good ranking.
In a matter of days this word, brrreeeport, was not only listed on Technorati’s blog listing, it’s actually became one of the Technorati’s most searched keywords.
It’s now listed on Google and Yahoo
Also we can even see pay per click advertisement for this keyword.
