Nice write up Andy.
Im in that 2000 bloggers thing. I didnt even realise until I noted a huge spike in my inward links and alexa rankings.
I even blogged about it briefly too, cos thats what this whole blog thing is, talk and discussion of things that interest us and make us think twice on a subject or two.
I think it was an excellent piece of creative thinking that people liked and wrote about and that should be that. Labelling it as linkbait for some reason, gets people all hot under the collar.
Technorati and stumbleupon and every other SM platform out there, built by ordinary users generating content for free, which they then subsequently milk and earn coin from, really do need to just relax a little and spread a little love.
As you so rightly point out, what with all those little pink boxes plastered up everywhere, it really is a lot of hypocrisy, especially when you check out their very own lack of participation in the awful 'dont trust anyone' experiment.
I guess they might be a little concerend perhaps that lots of copycatters will follow suit and subvert their finely honed ranking al gore rhythms! Well, so what, thats life, its how humans work.People always will continue to look at ways of rising to the top. Society both encourages and restricts it too. Maybe they might even learn a little from the exercise. Maybe they need to build a 'reduce mass multiple inward link efficacy by date time and anchor text' construct and bolt it on to the side of their algo. Or maybe they just need to chill and accept it for what it was/is.
Boo to nofollow, yay to 2k Bloggers; a harmless peice of fun that got peoples attention and generated a link or 2, a fire in a bin somewhere that will just burn itself out anyway.

This is great actually...I just registered myself just to see how the results are.
This is a very viral concept and I believe it will only evolve into something new and cool.
I think this concept evolved from (but didn't come from) the concept that others were using before like, 500internetmarketers.com.

Some people write private blogs, or friends only blogs and don't want stuff showing up in search. The old blogger didn't have any mechanism for making a blog private other than deleting it, so blocking the spiders was the best you could hope for.
One thing I've noticed is that DOFOLLOWed comments contribute to Technorati ranking... If the DOFOLLOW trend takes off then it will be the next "2000 bloggers".

I know of a number of blogs where I noticed that noindex, nofollow which certainly do want the traffic and indexing, I just didn't point the finger at them.
I know many blogs that use nofollow for comments and also affect Technorati rating. A lot depends on how frequently Technorati check for new links on a page before it disappears from the front page or the feed.
coComment also has a similar effect

I wonder if the guys with NOFOLLOW/NOINDEX who *want* traffic cut-and-pasted a Blogger theme without looking inside?

Wow. How disappointing that all of the "no-follow" links have been added. Seems to create a measure of distrust to those of us looking for inclusion as well as benefiting from some decent back linking.

Thanks for the great advice. WordPress is such a great platform isn’t it - and the wide range of plug ins make it really exciting.
One of the best ones I found the other day was click tracking. Which gives you a heat map of your page showing where visitors are clicking most… rather like crazyegg does.
Very cool
Keep giving us great stuff - thanks

I presume your reference to "hippocracy" is a dig at Yahoo! -- but you didn't say much about them.

Definitely nothing to do with Yahoo.
This one is all Technorati, and the people who complained about 2000 Bloggers, most of whom have something to do with blog networks.

I also gave you credit for mentioning the "no follow" deal:
