<p>LinkedList <strong>was</strong> a simple WordPress plugin for sorting your blogroll in the order by which the sites on the blogroll were last updated. LinkedList <strong>did</strong> this by using Google’s excellent <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/" rel="nofollow ugc">AJAX Feed API</a> to discover (if needed) and read the RSS/Atom feeds of the sites on your blogroll.</p>
