Today coRank is opening its doors. There goes 4 months of endless nights. Also, I now am addicted to caffeine.

Well, first of all, Welcome! coRank is barely one day old, and it's not easy to think about using a service that somehow needs people contributing to it to make it worthwhile, when the truth is that there is still so few people using it. And while it's true that a bit of work is required for someone to get the most out of coRank (add your "sources", invite others to be your sources, etc), I think it's also true that once you've got that part taken care of - even if it's just partially with just about 5-6 sources - you don't need hundreds of thousands of users to make coRank work for you. So hopefully you'll stick around a bit :-) And if you're already using some of the other bookmarking/social-news sites out there and are happy with them, I suggest you continue using them. The way I see it, coRank is not a replacement for Digg, del.icio.us, Reddit, etc. but a site that will likely deliver less news,sites and stories your way, but hopefully more in synch with the stuff you like.

Ayway, as you can already sense, this blog is going to be anything but formal. No press releases being posted here, but whatever random thoughts and ideas I may come up with for the project

For now, coRank is a personal project, and by "personal" I mean there's only one person behind it. Well, obviously the hosting (hardware and bandwidth) is being taken care of by a hosting company I trust and respect, and they're in charge of making sure the uptime is optimal, but everything else so far goes on my plate. Sure thing I'm planning to get at least a couple of more people on board fairly soon - and I'm sure it's going to be a fun ride!

So far, and considering this puppy is barely one day old, although I'd like to write some more about stuff I plan to be adding, etc., I have to leave it for now until the dust settles a bit and I get some more time to write.
