Blogchalking: I was afraid this might happen...
Remember Blogchalking?
It appears that Daypop has disabled the "blogchalk" keyword. All blogchalk searches now come up empty.
I rather suspected the search engine sites might not take kindly to this sort of direct manipulation of their engines, however well-meaning. It still works on Google, but we'll see how long that lasts.
07-16-2002 UPDATE: The blogchalk keyword appears to be back in action over at Daypop, so maybe it was just a bug, or maybe they have reversed their position and taken a sunnier view of the blogchalking phenomenon. We'll see.
I still think this practice will eventually be rejected by most search engines, though, or if not, it will eventually become useless, for the reasons so succinctly expressed by Kenan in the comments on this post.
I just like having the cute little wild-haired icon. It looks like a lemming.
