I guess it's just because it was first. I just find it's much nicer looking and also you can upload an OPML file of your subscriptions and it comes out with a nice list of the most popular stories from those blogs.

Of course I can't figure out for the life of me why people use memeorandum when Tailrank seems 100 times better to me!

I never made it to the top but Dave Winer preserved a momento of his number 1 position - http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2006/02/03/memesave.gif and if you squint hard enough you'll see I got sucked in on slipstream. I have to admit I saw a huge spike in traffic! Nice one Tom! I never made it to the top but Dave Winer preserved a momento of his number 1 position -

My average Sunday traffic was almost doubled yesterday so, I'd say yes, it did drive quite a bit of traffic to the site. It did John - but i guess that depends on what you mean by “much”!
