Might be, and add into that a nice PR and anchor check and you could have a nice tool.

I have been noticing the same. But Google only says it provides a “larger sample”.

Perhaps a script to merge the list of links from Site explorer and webmaster central and remove duplicates would be accurate enough?

Hey David

Funny – before now I always looked on SiteExplorer as the poor man’s backlink tool. I may have to revisit that view in light of Google’s problems.

I found the same thing. I prefer using yahoo site explorer for tracking links back to sites.
