Instablogs has released a new design for AdPunch:

The design is set parallel to the sizzle and charm of the Ad world. The female models, who induce you to buy the products show cased in the ads, cover the top panel of the design. The creative and funky look is paired with the corporate aspect of the Ad world.

9rules: The Net is Dead

By

The Net is Dead joins 9rules:

So what will change here? Nothing much besides the 9rules logo which I will place in my sidebar tomorrow and there will probably (hopefully!) be some more people frequenting this site. What I will change? I’ll continue focusing on writing high quality articles on technology and net culture for you all to enjoy. This is the best possible piece of recognition I could possibly receive after a year of avid blogging. Now let’s move into the next year! I’m gonna make it rock, that’s a promise!

9rules: I Remember

By

One of the more unique sites I’ve ever seen, I remember has joined 9rules:

I remember the first time I visited 9rules – I knew I wanted to be a part of that community. Who doesn’t want to be a part of a community of high quality, thought provoking, and useful websites? Many thanks to Paul Scrivens and his team of reviewers for accepting I Remember to the network. This one is for Joe, thanks for all your memories

Feedster releases revised Top 500

By

Feedster has released their new Top 500 blog list. Details over at Scott Johnson’s Feedster Blog:

One of the things we saw as we analyzed the data is that blogs from Weblogs, Inc has a striking showing in all this. Their link scores are higher than anyone elses — they’ve got 4 blogs in the top 10 alone. Now you might think that’s surprising but Weblogs, Inc is a network and they’ve built a densely interlinked mesh network of content. They show up strongly in the Top 500 because the way they chose to model their content is very similar to ours. And, given that Jason truly inspired the Feedster 500, I suspect we’re going to look for ways to evaluate clusters of affiliated links much more closely in the next Top 500. But I certainly can’t fault him for it — he provides great content and an outstanding experience.

Interesting because in implementing the backend of Blog Network List (still in development) we’re looking at link popularity and some other statistics and we’ve seen the same with the Weblogs, Inc. network. Not that it’s bad, mind you.. just another facet of things to look at.

Now.. where’s the Feedster API for this? 😉
