I am not quite sure how this came to pass, but according to Wikio I am now the 300th most powerful blog in the UK.
Pity I’m not IN the UK.
Maybe I should send flowers to Boriswatch? Important jobs for all my bloggy Limey friends!

No link to me?!
That’s pretty good though! And I remember seeing the name raincoaster on the forums on Boris’ site and was wondering if that was you.

That is indeed me. I am sitting by the email anxiously awaiting my summons to London for a cushy multi-million-pound contract.
I shall put the link in now. My apologies: I thought you’d left for the Republic of Tumblr.

Who would have thought the UK had three hundred blogs?
Ducks……

Ar ar. And not one major lolsite!

Well, I do tumble, tumblr, do tumbling, whatever you want to call it, but it’s just laziness on my behalf!
So is it worrying that I only ever been to two other blogs on that list before?

And thank you very much for the link. :)

Your Grace
“Not IN the UK”
err … yes, mmm, but
THAT may not always be the Case, especially if the Lady ApilihP can wield her influence with her newly well-placed Turkish-Descendant – Melissa is going to be very busy now and he is going to need someone of World-Class stature to help Melissa with his Blogge
Yr Grace’s obedient servant etc

No one will be the most powerful blog anymore. http://www.smh.com.au/text/articles/2008/04/27/1208743316244.html

G Eagle, don’t tease me. I’ll believe that when I get the email from Melissa and the cheque from Boris. But I certainly do hope he brings Melissa back for a bigger role.
catwoman, I don’t know why they call it the Higgs particle; they meant to call it the ‘raincoaster’ particle, obviously, but must have gotten high on ether or whatever it is that scientists do.

First the UK, then the world muhahahaaa!
May 08, 2008 @ 01:12:58
Yes, and I don’t even have to leave my lair!

Hi there!
This is Lisa over Wikio, I was wondering if you would be interested in the badge on raincoaster. Just let me know and I send you the html code.
Have a great day! Cheers

Depends: will you promote me to 299? Happy to put out for you if you put out for me.

Ok I’ve checked and seeing as you’re not in the UK, I guess we’ll have to shift you over to the US rankings if that’s not a problem (although you’re not American either as I understand it).
Still, seeing as you are so well appreciated this side of the Atlantic (by the London mayor, no less) could I ask you to blog roll our UK site?
May 13, 2008 @ 19:54:17
No love for Canada? Manifest Digital Destiny! An evil plot.
Frankly, I’d prefer to be on whichever side of the Atlantic ranks me higher. Towards that goal, I shall blogroll the UK site as soon as I find the URL for it; does that mean dropping the US site? I see there’s a Canadian ahead of me:

As you fall on the Canadian side of the Atlantic, unlike That Canadian Girl who chose to take shelter upon our fair Ilse, your site would have to be on our Canadian ranking, which sadly does not exist.
But seeing as you’re so well received by the Bat-Shit Insane Brits ;) would you be interested in a Wikio RSS subscription button for Raincoaster?
May 19, 2008 @ 12:29:47
Sure. I’m all about marketing to the batshit insane. What do I have to do for that?
Can I not be the sole, and thus, definitive, blog in your Canadian ranking? Awwww. My normal preference is for a dictatorship.
May 19, 2008 @ 13:35:55
I’ll simply send you the code. Here’s my email lisa@wikio.com – email me and I’ll send it right over, after having cleaned off the bat shit first of course.

If you can just send me the feed URL I can put it in one of our prefab widgets, as not ever kind of code will run at WP.com.
