50 Years?

The rock era turned 50 on Saturday!  Me, I dubbed three Donny Osmond songs to mark the occasion (I only need 441 more top 10s to have them all through '02).

The Funny 28th

Again, sorry for the tardiness.  I'll remount this blog after my vaca.  Look or new stuff in August.

Some interesting things here. Sure two tech blogs surged passed two other tech blogs, but also of the four new entries only two are techies. Word of the Day and Slate are more for later adopters. Interesting, no?

Bloglines: Top Ranked RSS feeds

I think that Bloglines top ranked RSS feeds list is fascinating. I'm going to try to put monthly updates of this list in an effort to keep track of changes in the popularity of blogs and news sites.

Proof that blog aggregators are favored by early adopters: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15 & 16.

That's over half the list! It remains to be seen if as the expansion of the internet increase and therefore blog aggregator use increases, what kinds of changes will happen to this list. Well, that's my sworn mission, until I get bored with it. (Also, do techies think Dilbert is that funny? I mean, it's good, but #4?)
