Blimey

Flattered to discover, via a convoluted route (the Blogshares inbound link tracker), that the Tucows Innovation & Reseach Group blog (aka The Farm) has blogrolled me.

I guess this must be the work of the splendid blokes I met at that blogflocking in Liberty Village a few weeks ago. Thanks, guys.

Tucows continues to be one of the most important technology organizations on the map. Their evolution has been a joy to behold - from startup as the first and coolest freeware/shareware download site, to their position today as the second largest domain registrar in the world. They're a great example of the way the Net should work (but rarely does, alas) - people with a clue rising clean to the top by doing the right thing.

The About text in their blog footer is delicious too:
