If Narky, Feed Profusely

Brain Dump

Related?

Posted by Karita on Monday, 28 April, 2008

WordPress has this new tool called Possibly Related Posts, designed to allow people to read posts that have similar content, and thereby potentially increase blog traffic. So far, I’m intrigued to see if this will work, but a little dubious as to how they decide what is related. Seems somewhat random to me. I’m also unsure about appearing to endorse sites that I have never been to – so I think WordPress should give us the option to approve these links, like we can approve comments. I’ll keep an eye on it for now…

What do other WordPress users think?

  1. Personally I don’t like it on my own blog. Not sure if it is a turn off on other people’s blogs yet

  2. Yes, I’ve been following this – a few have been good – got one interesting link as a result, but seems a lot are irrelevant and some I’d rather not have.

    Just come across a firefox app
    My Social 24.7 friend feed which is apparently better than others at tracking – loads into a sidebar.
