NZ Bear announces new features in the Truth Laid Bear Ecosystem, and references CQ to help explain the additions:

Over the past few weeks, I've been doing quite a bit of work behind the scenes to improve the Ecosystem and add new functionality. There's still more to be done, but today I'm unveiling some of the new features. ...

- History statistics for the blog's rank and total unique inbound links presented in a line graph. Check out Power Line, Captain's Quarters, INDC Journal, Hugh Hewitt or Allah's detail pages for good examples.

- An expandable tree menu showing the blog's ten most-linked-to posts and who linked to them

- An expandable tree menu showing the links which the blog has received from other blogs, sorted in descending order of the source-blog's Ecosystem rank (for easy identification of 'big links' from top bloggers).

The Bear has done tremendous work in establishing a self-reporting "ecosystem" of bloggers, mainly political bloggers (although anyone can opt into the system), and he's done it all without any compensation for his trouble. It's been a blast working my way up the evolutionary ladder, and I'm hovering around the threshold from Playful Primate to Mortal Human. Check out the ecosystem if you've never seen it before, and make sure you take a look at his new features while you're there.

Addendum: NZ Bear says he's still having some difficulties with the new features, but I know he'll get them working properly in short order. In the meantime, don't forget that Bear writes excellent blogs as well as provides the TTLB Ecosystem. Check out his latest posts!
