Blog Backs

I've been watching this trend of linking user content/opinions with traditional media for awhile now ... and every once in a while I find a surprise for myself. My blog's currently listed first in the Blog Back feature on the USN&WR site.

PS: I just noticed the Shifted Librarian is currently listed in Blog Back too! Read Jenny's post, it's excellent!
