Press – Or what other People Say about Chair Blog

I have created this page to thank the referrers. Sometimes It will contain links to old Chair Blog Tumblr pages that I have phased out for various reasons (see the Chair Blog | Tumblr page for the complete story).

You will understand this is a work in process.

I used Google’s Blog Search and Technorati Status to check incoming links from time to time, but I also monitored my site with various counters from which I used Woopra the most during a certain period, because it is real time. Google notoriously didn’t catch all trackbacks nor does Technorati, even after it’s major 2009 site rebuild….and both discontinued the services since.

I really do like to be linked, blogrolled, Tumblrd, Wisted, Journalized or quoted! Thanks all!

Do send me a note via our contact page if I overlooked your link.

  I try not to let a week pass by without taking a good, long gander at the wares offered by our friends over at Chairblog, whose tenacity and persistence in ferreting out avant-garde designs never ceases to amaze. The site has been a great venue for the little-known and up-and-coming, very like today’s Yuya Ushida and his crafty Sofa_XXXX.

  Dear MLIA reader,

  Here at MLIA staff headquarters, surrounded by other small apartments and the loud noise of a garbage truck, we strive to be average in almost everything we do. We have a strong commitment to being average. We love average.

  Because of this, we thought that the most average way to keep everyone up to date with what’s going on behind the scenes at MLIA was by using a blog. Blogs are so average that there’s even a blog about chairs.

  Yes there is:-)
