tucows gets blogrolling
Tucows Acquires BlogRolling.com
Woah. That’s big. It looks like they are unveiling their new blog system (Blogware) at the same time, and so I wonder if they will stop making BlogRolling available to other blog systems. That’s been one thing I’ve always been able to count on because Jason (blogrolling’s creator) was a blogger himself first, and then created the system. A bigger company taking over could be more unaware of what has gone on in the blogging community in the past to lead up to the need for blogrolling’s services, despite promises otherwise. We’ll see, I suppose.
That being said, I have a gold account with blogrolling, so all features are active, and I love the system; its the best I’ve found for managing my links. 
Blogware looks like something that a reseller/hosting provider can offer packaged hosting deals with the blogware program.
The Blogrolling news page has more info, and the press release is at Yahoo.

An email I recieved from TuCows states that they will absolutely not limit blogrolling to any one particular blogging software.

Oh, thanks Theresa, I have that email in my mailbox now too.
That’s good news!

Wow. That came as kind of a shock. I’m glad for Jason. I have a Gold Account also, which doesn’t expire until next year (I believe). I really hope the service only goes up from here. I’d hate to see some of my favorite features and things disappear.
