“575,000 Results”…It definitely did get a little out of hand.

I actually didn't mind it - someone asked me to do it, I commented on their blog, no big deal - until it started popping up on every last blog I came upon. A google search yields horrific results.

Sorry Jina, my little list doesn’t really take into account who people took the baton from, only who they passed it to. I expanded Rob’s tree and he happened to pass it to you. So now you’re in there, even though I see you took it from Veerle. :) If you notice, some people are in the list a few times…like Zeldman.

I’ll definitely be coming back to this page to check out the sites I have listed that I’ve never really seen before. It looks like there are quite a few rockstar designers out there I’ve never…heard? Kinda makes me want to make a webdesigners directory site with that title…

That’s a cool concept, back-tracking the baton passing. Thanks for the comprehensive list, now we can see what all the rockstar designers listen to via one page. :)

I actually did not pick the baton up from Rob, but from Veere. But this did spread rather quickly!

You are now infected…as are a few other people. I don’t think I’ll expand any more of the branches, but let me know if I have any incorrect information, and I’ll fix it.

So, should we all let you know when we post our addition to the baton meme thang? I'm in the list, but I'm no longer notinfected in fact!

I’m scared to even look at that list anymore in fear that I will add RSS Feeds from some of the new sites in there to my already overflowing Bloglines account.

Well I was going say Keith and James, but I now realize that they didn’t do the meme dance…hence the reason they’re left off the list. Sorry, wasn’t paying attention close enough ;)

Well, I’m guessing you’re wanting to see the nodes that lead to your site.
