meme orandum  MEMORANDA A weblog of memeorandum site notices

Back to memeorandum MEMORANDA main page


Two Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this really automated?

A: Yes, in most respects. My software picks the articles and weblog excerpts to post, not me.

Q: How can I become excerpted on memeorandum?

A: Build up an audience enough that other bloggers already quoted on memorandum link to you.

In its current form, memeorandum uses software that repeatedly visits a limited set of weblogs (numbering in the low hundreds) to determine what to post. This weblog list is updated several times a month through a number of link analysis methods for identifying who's new and noteworthy. If you are, your weblog will likely appear on this list, barring any technical problems.

I should also remark that a major redesign in the works should enable new weblogs to be added instantly and in a fully automated manner.
