My point is not to assess quality, or to wonder whether I personally like them or will want to read them every day or every other day. (This will not, in other words, be the libertarian bit of my personal blogroll.) Nor do I intend to fret about readership numbers. Just how many libertarian bloggers there are out there? Who are they?I, however, am concerned with fretting about readership and quality or what have you. So I did me a spreadsheet, stuck all the urls into Technorati and ranked them by number of blog reactions (this is the number of times other blogs have linked to that blog)

ReplyDeleteAh that's very clever, and I notice I actually make your list, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThe silly thing is I've only been on that domain for a month so Technorati doesn't have all the figures from my previous URL, but it's not a big deal. It's the price you pay for moving domains!!
