Clay Shirky has updated his article to incorporate new data. He pointed to a new list over at Technorati created in response to his article:
I’m on the list. But then, I’m also on Technorati’s Top 100 as well as Technorati’s 100 Interesting Recent blogs.
What can I say, I’m a Technorati Blog Magnet.
Clay and I are continuing our chat in the comments attached to the previous post. However, in looking at the new power law distribution graph, and looking at the data that generated the graph, I found that it would be quite simple to get rid of the curve: Dave, Cory, shut up. You’re skewing the curve.
Sam Ruby wrote about the best summary of this whole thing:
Here’s the way I look at it. I’m listed in the Technorati top 100. By looking at the statistics there, 98.93% of the weblogs it tracks do NOT link to mine. 99.90% of the weblogs tracked have less inbound links than me.
I see no mountains here, only molehills.
Squeak.
