15 MINUTES OF FAME

A week ago, I blogged about banned books week, and about the little image I made and shared with the American Libraries Association (ALA).
I guess a lot of folks visit the ALA site (it was featured on boingboing, after all), since I got 400 hits to my site directly from the ALA. More interestingly, a decent amount of bloggers have picked up the image I made and are posting it on their site, some giving proper attribution and some not. It's a little early to do an official count, since banned books week just started, but I'll post the blogs that link here anyway, in no useful order. By that, I mean, it's what my logs pulled up, in order of how many folks have come to my site through these links, but that doesn't mean anything to most people.
Anyhow, here's the list. We're currently at 19 inbound links related to the image I made:
The ALA
Life's Journey
Librarian.net
dixietoday
Thoughts from a Library Administrator
Don Wood: Library 2.0
Freerange Librarian (flickr)
Message Log between Librarians
Gameblog
h20boro lib blog
Potlikker
A Book A Week
Dandizette
View from the Tower
Summar Reading Project
New Moon News
Tripe (spanish)
Grumpator
jamie's blog for the library
Additions:
Buffalo Wings and Toasted Ravioli
As more folks use the image, I'll post them as well.
Interesting note: Some folks are linking directly to the image on my site, and some are linking to the ALA's hosted copy of the image on my site. If I was feeling clever, I could always change my local copy to something else, causing the change to appear on all the site's that are using the image linked from my site...
