ThornleyFallis and 76design have gained so much from the Wordpress community over the years that we thought it was time to give back. Today we are releasing Friendsroll and Toplinks, two Wordpress plugins that we hope will help to re-invent the blogroll.

Toplinks takes the pain out of managing your blogroll links. Instead of having to continuously maintain a list of sites that you link out to, Toplinks will automatically maintain that list for you.

Friendsroll assists you in maintaining a one to one relationship with the members of your blog community. It lets the members of your community indicate that they value your opinion and want to be associated with you.

Stay tuned for more on both Toplinks and Friendsroll. But for now, why not download both and give them a try!
