Danah Boyd posted about the biases of links over at Many2Many the other day. She looked for patterns in a random set of 500 blogs tracked by Technorati as well as the 100 top blogs tracked by Technorati. She found patterns in who keeps blogrolls and who is in them, as well as patterns about how bloggers link in context and who they link to.
The patterns Boyd points to would certainly effect the Google Economy, our way of creating and identifying value based on linking structures. And though she’s emphasizing gender differences, the patterns show broad differences in linking patterns between content types as well.
Discussion?

A Case for a Lawyer
This could be another case for a lawyer to get involved – after all, you never know.
[...] What can I say? My immediate reaction was that he’d found proof of Danah Boyd’s point that male bloggers only link to male bloggers. [...]
