If you have a blog you might be interested in this new wiki, Million Blog List. Blogs can add their link to the list for free and include a maximum 500 word description. And if you post about the Million Blog List you can have your blog title in bold. You must include the banner in your post or place it on permanent display in your sidebar.

It is said that there are over 70,000,000 blogs in existence. This is an experiment to see how long it will take to get 1,000,000 blogs to list themselves on our site. Will it work? We think so. The experiment is to see how long will it take. What do you think? take our poll. We started April 10th, 2008.

It is a guess as to how viral this could become, but it only takes a few influential blogs to initiate the linking frenzy needed to reach the mega goal.
I added Eco-Thinker at #144 and as I write this, 12 hours later, the list has almost 300 submissions. One million is an ambitious number even for blogs and whether that goal can even be reached remains a mystery, but I casted my projection at 3-6 months in the poll.
I am no expert on wiki format, but it seems that there will be periods of mass submissions. Depending our how viral it might be at any given future point those edits will start overlapping each other.

Blogger_A submits her link at #50,000 at the same time as blogger_B, blogger_C, and blogger_D who also believe they are submitting their link as the #50,000 slot.

I admit I made a few mistakes and ended up edited three different times, all within a minute, but I did realize I might have saved over someone submitting just as or just before I clicked save. I tried the show preview and everything looked fine, then I clicked the show changes and realized I am not 142 anymore, but 144. I quickly realized how that could get messy with simultaneous saves. Unfamiliar with the wiki code I just copy/pasted the code segment above mine and made my changes.

If you are unfamiliar with the wiki code just use this template below:

:144 [http://www.eco-thinker.com/ Eco-Thinker] Eco-Thinker explores ways to live a green and more sustainable lifestyle.

or if you posted about the million blog list you will want your title bold:

:144 [http://www.eco-thinker.com/ '''Eco-Thinker''']

I would suggest having your code with description ready to paste and save as soon as possible to avoid edit wrecks.
