I've been having this problem. You see, i forgot that aside from my loyal readers (all 10 of you) who are radical tech activist types, there are folks who read anarchogeek via indyblogs, then the googlebot which reads it for the rest of the world. I was hoping to offer my gmail invites to friends. When folks who read indyblogs asked for one, i didn't mind. But then the requests for invites kept coming, and coming, and coming.
The thing is, it's google's fault. It's their damned email service, and they keep sending people to me to get an account. When anybody searches for "Want a gmail account" or "I want a gmail account". Just today i had 22 people find anarchogeek searching for things including the phrase "gmail".
I think the only thing i can do is change the blog entry to stop the flood of comments.
On another note, i was bemoaning my google juice as being too radical, and low and behold iit had changed. I now look much more like a respectable techie in the Planetwork crowd and not like a dastardly anarchist.
On an interesting note, apparently Seb wants to interview me, when he gets around to asking it should be an interesting interview.

Currently they are being aggregated at:

Send them there.
Fyi ego surfing is the #1 sign you're procrastinating something.
