I understand your concern with people adding the code for 2000 bloggers to others blogs and the links that could be considered spammy links. The code is viral, but the root concept of the project was not. Links are potential acquisition, for you is readers, is the basic point of links. Like any other marketing, link building is only valuable if you reach your target audience. By the way, it was a link farm and I think that the people publishing the code were the perpetrators, however, in my personal and professional opinion: "the only link that will hurt you, is the link you publish on your website (or blog)." The only implications that being linked from a link farm or other useless site is if this is the only links that point to you. I think that it wasn't marketed as a viral product, but it quickly developed into one. There are many viral products that I have seen in the social realm of the Internet, and it does not appear to be slowing down any time soon! Rose,

I did not even add the code to my blog, however I think Tino had a great Idea. I looked at it as "social networking" a way to meet my fellow bloggers. I have to admit that I had some concerns with all the incoming links and though I was seeing an increase in traffic, I did not see one in readership so I wonder what would be the outcome of the project. I also had some concerns with Google thinking it was a link farm. I still do. As a fellow 2000 blogger I did not take part in an effort to generate links.
