This is a fun stop for those who want to keep up on the Web's ever-changing zeitgeist. A project of MIT's Media Laboratory, Blogdex lists the most referred-to sites in Weblog world. That is, Blogdex has a crawler that keeps track of what sites Weblogs are linking to and gives a list of the most popular. Clicking on the who? link brings up the Weblogs that linked to the site in question. Users interested in a less ephemeral account of popularity can check out the "all-time" top links, and the site promises a search facility in the future for Webmasters who want to know "Am I hot, or am I not."
