I apparently missed an interesting dust-up involving the TTLB Ecosystem and a collection of blogs run by Barry of Rush Limbaughtomy. As of this morning, N.Z. Bear has suspended all the blogs except the main one from the Ecosystem on the grounds that they were artificially increasing both the traffic and visiors ratings of one another by gaming the system.
This seems like a reasonable move although, as the blogosphere gets bigger, it’ll be increasingly difficult to police this sort of thing.
