Posted on March 19, 2004

Tucows Inc. has announced the acquisition of BlogRolling.com, a popular website and weblog tracking service. BlogRolling.com presently tracks over 500,000 weblog links for more than 32,000 users. Each day BlogRolling.com serves over 1.5 million blogrolls to users of all major weblog platforms. BlogRolling.com is a blogroll management service; a list of links that a website or weblog owner can include in their web pages as a public list of bookmarks. Tucows said it will continue to support BlogRolling.com users and all weblog platforms as it continues to develop new features for the service.

"BlogRolling.com is a 'best-of-breed' service enjoyed by tens of thousands of users," said Ross Rader, Tucows' director of research and innovation, "and we believe the acquisition of BlogRolling will enhance the capabilities available in Tucows' Blogware service. Blogware makes it easy for webloggers and website managers to create and consume content, information and digital media. BlogRolling.com enhances this capability and gives our resellers yet another way to differentiate themselves in the highly competitive markets that they each play in."
