Ah, to be 488,862. It could happen you know. Technorati, the great hunk o’ blogsearch engine ranks EFD at 488,863. Out of what number? You got me. The way I understand it, Technorati takes into account:
” … the number of links, and the perceived relevance of blogs, as well as the real-time nature of blogging.”
All of which kind of infers that you’re being judged by the company that you keep. But isn’t that the norm? I don’t know the norm but I do know a few Normans. If I am ranked 488,862 out of the 25 million-some-odd blogs that Technorati tracks, then that isn’t so bad relatively speaking. If I am 488,862 out of 468,863, then who cares? It’s all just an excuse to run Charles Dickens’ photo.
