Roller 1.1 progress and bogus wuffie

Comments[1] by Dave in Blogging

We deployed a beta of Roller 1.1 at blogs.sun.com today, featuring the new built-in "Planet Roller" blogs.sun.com aggregator, which includes both BSC hosted and externally hosted Sun bloggers.

On the planet page, we substitute Technorati rankings (via Technorati.java) for the normal hot-blogs listing because we don't track hit counts for external blogs.

And, if you're looking at the Technorati rankings and wondering what a bush-league blogger like me is doing up there with MaryMary and Tim Bray? Well, I'm sorry to say, it's all due to bogus whuffie. At the time, I actually wrote to the Technorati folks to point out to them that my place in the Technorati 100 was undeserved. They have since rejiggered their formulas (sorry to get so technical) and I'm out of the list, but still highly ranked.

<p> Hi, </p><p> Is there any chance of having the "Sun Bloggers (Planet)" RSS feed contain full bodies of items, (as the B.S.C RSS feed does) rather than first X characters? Some of us like to read the entries via RSS. </p><p> Thanks! </p><p> Paul Jakma </p>
