Diarist.Net Ringlink - If Yahoo! Webring is not your cup of tea.

[pzarquon]

Recently Yahoo! swallowed up Webring.Org, turning the popular site-linking service into part of its empire (http://webring.yahoo.com.

Now to run a ring, each member must sign up for a Yahoo! ID (hello, blizzard of spam!) and use a code on their site that will pull the navigation bar from Yahoo! (meaning they could conceivably slip in ads someday). Of course, some folks like the Yahoo! Everything concept, and they sure have fast servers...

But for those who are looking for an alternative, Diarist.Net is proud to introduce Diarist.Net Ringlink:

If you liked Webring, I think you'll transition easily. The underlying script (Ringlink) works in a very similar manner, the only real difference being you can pick your own site username for various rings (rather than being assigned a number).

Enjoy!

This looks great--I don't have a webring myself, but I hope others will use it. I like the unique site ID concept, too.

Um.

Hmm. Three months and barely a handful of rings. And yet some of the Webrings out there are just dying off, for hatred of that Yahoo! JavaScript bar thing. What am I doing wrong? http://www.diarist.net/active/smile.gif

I thought about actively inviting frustrated Webring folks over, but that seemed... I dunno, too predatory. But I hate to see Webrings as a concept fade just because some people think Y! is the only show in town and because they suck.

Oh well. Now to figure out how to save diarists from the Y! takeover of eGroups.
