what's more, if you would come to a webmaster lunch - and they are fairly local for you - you could meet andy mike, and maybe bryce. they're super nice guys and are always doing innovative stuff with JUB. each change may not work out well for you or for me, but they are trying to make something different.

there are TONS of link lists and directories. you can find more. personally i like the idea of a site that lists only high quality stuff - which is not to say i don't like regular lists, too.

here's a serious thought. why not start a twink site list of your own? you can post all your own stuff and other webmasters' stuff as well. all that text should bring some nice se hits and having linkbacks, no matter where on a site, will raise your pr.
I know they are cool guys Bass, if they can deal with my rambles they would have to be but I see many of these people destroying the profession I love. If you going to play these link games while pretending to be doing it for viewers, why not create all your own members sites too? Hell you might put 100 people out of work with your innovations, but you could hire a guy to get you coffee in the AM.

What a wonderful world we will live in if these corporate pirates could stream line the whole web like this.

I wish I could create a bunch of LL’s to replace the fake ones, but I am only one person that is stressed out enough as it is. I have been working pretty much every waking moment for years now, and could go on for hours about the members sites I have to update every day, the free/avs/fhg/mgp sites I have to create/list, the affiliate program I am working with designers now to launch, and countess other carp that fills my days.
