Wow, recommended weblogs based on your reading habits Mark of dive into mark has 'automated ways to find new and interesting people.' Another way is to use the extremely clever metalink system by Blogdex. I've been using it for quite a while and I really like it. What you get is a history of links to stories you write about in your weblog, and since it's embedded right in the web log, all you have to do is click on a button and see who's writing about the article you've written or the one you're writing about. You'll see a history of who picked up the story first to the last person writing about it... very cool
