Web Rings: Goodbye.

Was I the only one using a web ring? I cannot think of the last time I saw a web ring on a web site or blog - especially a professional one. They were all the rage in the 90’s but now they are pretty much dead. Today I decided to can the web ring from dougthecook.com. It has not made any noticeable difference on incoming traffic, so goodbye web ring.

    I have one web ring set up on my blog at http://mavenmapper.blogspot.com but I get very very little traffic from it.

    similarly I do not see anyone leaving my site through that web ring.

    I think social bookmarking tools and feeds have provided the last nail for this coffin.

    I think the blog surfing exchanges(see http://www.softduit.com/Blog_Surfing_Exchanges.html) provided the previous nails.
