BlogRolling.com should have a web service. I am thinking something like getWhoHasBlogRolled( URL ) and getBlogRollOf( URL ). It would be simple to write something that would slowly do getWhoHasBlogRolled( URL ) by parsing the HTML from the BlogRolling search page. And, doing getBlogRollOf( URL ) could almost be "emulated" by going to the URL specified and trying to parse out the BlogRoll (assuming the person has it posted in some form on the page the URL points to).

But, it would be better if someone who had access to the database (I am assuming he is using MySQL or PostgreSQL) wrote it up and then exposed it off of the BlogRolling.com server.

Well, shoot, if he gave me read access to the DB, it would not be that hard to Perl something together. Maybe I should email the guy...
