RAPA: Blogger Fishing/Weekend Open Post
Yeh, this is my Open Trackbacks Alliance Weekend Open Post. Link to this post and track back. More below the post.
“RAPA”=random act of personal amusement.
I caught this lil thing from reading The Random Yak‘s [caught & released—and I hadn't even chummed the water yet... ] RSS feed (since comments are not yet enabled there, it makes commenting via email easy. besides, I read a majority of blogs that way, anyway, cos it’s just a faster way to scan through the meat of their posts).The Platypus Society devised a diabolical bait for Blogger Fishing: Links. Here, let’s let TPS explain the bait and hook plan:
For bait, I plan on using something that most bloggers find irresistible: Links. Bloggers are notorious for their compulsive habit of checking their hitcounter, Technorati ranking, or TTLB ranking to keep track of any new visits or links to their site. Below I have set the bait by posting links to a number of bloggers and have clicked on each one to help stir up the chum in the water. Feel free to click on the links below and visit these fine bloggers and help stir up the blogger feeding frenzy.
OK, TRY baited the hook for me with a link to twc, but he wasted his bait in my case, cos I saw his RSS feed long before one of my sporadic checks for links from other blogs. Nevertheless, I kinda like the idea, but I wanna twist it a bit. If you are hooked by finding a link to you (listed below) when you check your ShortStats, TTLB or Technorati or whatever,
- Go ahead and note in a post that you were hooked by your linkage check.
- Link here and track back to let me know you were hooked and then
- Make some link chum/bait of your own, hoping to hook a few for your own blogger catch of the day.
Here’s the bait I’m setting out:

The irony of it is, you caught ME through Technorati – because I saw the new link and clicked it before even pauising long enough to recognize it was you. I guess that makes me the stupid fish that would bite an unbaited hook just because it was shiny – but on the other hand, it’s catch and release, so I’m not all that much the worse for wear.
