I used it a while back for news alerts (I think), but I don't think I've used it for links before. As Robyn says, it'd be good to have a foolproof system for noticing the gift of the links Joanna Derrick, thanks, I’ll give that a try.

I have to say I don't find Technorati all that reliable - it picks up some links, but not all, and sometimes it sends them in batches way after the event. I don't know if anyone else ha a foolproof system for picking up links - if so it would be good to hear it... Joanna Hi Robyn, it’s interesting isn’t how we come to feel connected to places as well as people through this medium.

I have to say I don’t find Technorati all that reliable – it picks up some links, but not all, and sometimes it sends them in batches way after the event.

I don’t know if anyone else ha a foolproof system for picking up links – if so it would be good to hear it…

Not sure why it's not showing up in Technorati Links to my blog. That has been a means for me to know when someone so generous as you has provided me a link. I do not want to miss something like that. Hi Joanna, I so feel like I’d be at home in Edinburgh since you are a friend and I saw that wonderful blog you posted about your home town. :-)

Thanks again for running the competition :-) @ Catherine, sorry, I should have made that clearer. It's the new book by Seth Godin, I've added an update on the post as well Joanna @ Derrick, I agree with that – it’s the actions that count, what we do, say (and write).

Your post poses quite a lot of things to think about. But I think it's a great reminder of how who we are, and what we stand for, is embedded in everything we do. And that if we look deep enough, we can learn a lot from a person by what they do and say. Thanks for taking part, Joanna. =). Your post poses quite a lot of things to think about.
