I used to have a blogroll. I got too many requests from people to be added to it so I dumped it over two years ago.

I've been thinking along the same lines. The time is much better spent on content creation. There's too many downside to trading links:
1) Link exchanges are very time consuming.
2) The majority of the exchanges provide no traffic nor value.
3) Risk of penalty for running a link scheme.
4) Reciprocal links degrade fast. Many link partners will remove the backlink after a few weeks.
