For the short time I’ve been maintaining inkblot earth, I’ve only participated in one link-meme frenzy. I have been tagged, though, without following it up. To those that tagged me in the past and I didn’t respond: it’s not that I don’t appreciate the links — but rather that I felt the meme didn’t fit here/appeal to me. This one I thought was quite appealing, the Tech Link Train — a meme for Technology and Science related blogs only.

Memes generally have two pros:

• Increase the exposure of participating blogs through Technorati link registry and search engine ranking
• Provide the readers with links to interesting blogs

The second point is (to me) a prerequisite; and as it is in this case, the meme is themed so you’re guaranteed to get a list of blogs that people have (a) deemed interesting and (b) have similar content. So that’s my excuse for participating, the following is not a random list purely to gain exposure — but also to provide inkblot earth’s readers with other interesting stuff to read Due to my youth in the blogosphere, my list of science blogs is still in its infancy — which made me delighted to have this train-of-a-meme deliver a handful of science blogs to surf through!

I was tagged by Tony Targonski of the Computer Science Canada blog, thanks for the tag Tony — and for putting inkblot earth on top Tony didn’t include the history of the meme for good reasons; but my opinion differs as is evident by what I wrote above. So I took the liberty of re-installing the history from the person who tagged Tony.

I hope that the following few I will prove as interesting a read for you as they are for me. If you’re one of those I tag (and want to jump on the train), then you should do the following:

• Write a short paragraph and include a link to your tagger (me)
• Tag a maximum of 5 Technology/Science related blogs
• Take my tags and add them to the fat history list
• Append the complete history list to the end of your entry
