My Right Word "... is disappointed with the ramifications for Jewish blogging after reviewing the voting stats for the JIB awards" in JIB Stats. If Jewish blogging is to make a difference it requires a lot more intra-linking. Playing up the most significant posts is a way to raise their visibility. When Shiloh Musings, for example, took pictures of Palestinian construction near Jerusalem, every pro-Israel blogger should have linked to it. It showed that despite the claims of poverty, so popular in the media, the Palestinians were phony. Or when In Context wrote of a meeting of Rep. Joe Sestak and the Jewish community about his appearance at a CAIR event, everyone who is concerned with CAIR and its growing prominence should have linked to her.
