More Navel Gazing
I just came across a site, BlogRunner, that archives weblogs and compiles statistics about them, statistics that, at least in my case, the proprieter is not even aware of. For example, here are the bloggers I link to, the bloggers who link to me, and the sites I link to most often:
| Top Outbound Weblogs 1. CalPundit 2. Eschaton 3. P.L.A. 4. Talking Points Memo 5. ~~~TBOGG~~~ 6. Matthew Yglesias 7. Off the Kuff 8. Hullabaloo 9. Random Thoughts 10. Roger Ailes |
Top Inbound Weblogs 1. Off the Kuff 2. Pacific Views 3. The Mad Prophet Blog 4. Lean Left 5. Skeptical Notion 6. Matthew Yglesias 7. Left is Right 8. Path of the Paddle 9. TAPPED 10. Brad DeLong |
Top Outbound Sites 1. www.washingtonpost.com 2. www.nytimes.com 3. www.cnn.com 4. www.salon.com 5. atrios.blogspot.com 6. calpundit.com 7. pla.blogspot.com 8. talkingpointsmemo.com 9. www.matthewyglesias.com 10. offthekuff.com 11. www.amazon.com 12. dailyhowler.com 13. rightwingnews.com 14. www.msnbc.com 15. pandagon.net |
The BlogRunner algorithm seems to have some flaws. For example, I know that I link to Orcinus far more often than I link to Random Thoughts (through no fault of Susan’s), and due to Dwight Meredith moving to Wampum, I definitely haven’t linked PLA in a long time. But all in all, if you want to get a feel for the ties between your favorite blog and other blogs, it’s not too far off. Just go here and type the name of any blog (not the url).
