Blogroll Fun uses a subscription to a free service that allows it to easily determine the last update time and the last post for all of the links in your blogroll without slowing down the loading time of your blog. It allows you to choose if you want to display this information in your blogroll or not. It simply replaces the standard wordpress link widget while providing additional functionality.
Blogroll Fun can be compared to the feed reading blogroll. However, unlike feed reading blogroll the last post information is sent to your blog and stored with your blogroll. It does not rely on your visitors to load this information, or any javascript tricks.
Settings can be updated by going to manage, widgets, then edit on the links widget.
Currently, no ads are being delivered through this plugin.

Blogroll Fun – Show  Last Post and Last Update Time

Blogroll Fun adds last post information to all of the links in your blogroll.  Find out when friends have blogged just by looking at your blogroll!

SuperLinks replaces the standard WordPress 2.5 Links widget with a more customizable one. With 
SuperLinks you can add as many Links widgets as you want, and set the display options for each 
widget. For instance, you can set which Links category is displayed on each block.
SuperLinks was inspired by the LinkBlock plugin, which provided a very similar service. However, 
LinkBlock development stopped before WordPress 2.5, so SuperLinks was created to fill the void.
Development of SuperLinks was greatly aided by reading the source of some existing plugins. They 
are: 
* Lorna Timbah’s “Top Commentators Widget” (http://webgrrrl.net/archives/my-top-commentators-widget-quick-dirty.htm) 
* The original LinkBlock widget (LinkBlock: http://www.optera.net/projects/wordpress/linkblock/) 
* The stock WordPress widgets found in widgets.php 
Thanks to the developers of those plugins for the help their code provided!
