Justin Hall established links.net in 1994. His archives go back to January 10, 1996 and his latest post was on August 29, 2002. It seems to me to be as much a "weblog" as any other I've seen, started long before the word "weblog" came into being and the craze to define the word became such a preoccupation on the part of so many "webloggers."

Okay, big flow guys (you know who you are) -- I'd like to invite you again to come out and play with us little guys in the Radio community by putting one of these pathetically tiny buttons on your weblog and becoming part of the Radio randomizer network. I've seen one of you point to Blogger's random link thing and another one of you saying how you would like to have something similar for Radio. You already have something similar for Radio sites and over 40 Radio webloggers have joined. We need more Radio webloggers to join for this thing to take off and if a few of you big flow guys would participate, it sure would be helpful. Let me know if you want to be part of it -- we'd love to have you!

It's only a headline and as the story says, they're just trying to cool the backlash... for now. "A new generation of technology could persuade the record companies to pick up the pace again."
