So yesterday I got a mention on Seth Godin’s blog, and the guy goes and spells my name wrong. How hard is it to spell Darren anyway?

I should point out that though I did bring the Technorati link to his attention, the choice of the Heidi Klum article was his not mine - an obvious attempt to shirk responsibility for dodgy content. I was reading something far more intellectually stimulating - honest.

It’s an interesting link I came across on the English language version of the Der Spiegel web-site. Pick an article and scroll to the bottom of the page. There’s a Technorati link to Blogs discussing this story, which opens the main Technorati links page, displaying every blog with a link back to the article in question.

For a major news site to link to external blogs in this way is new. Many news sites have attempted to guide discussion of articles from within their own sites, but none to my knowledge have provided such a clear path to voices and opinions beyond their control.

Now if only the New York Times, Guardian, and all the rest followed suit.
