Comments on: Woohoo! I’m Number Eight! http://walt.lishost.org/2007/09/woohoo-im-number-eight/ The library voice of the radical middle. Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:05:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.2 By: vonjobi http://walt.lishost.org/2007/09/woohoo-im-number-eight/comment-page-1/#comment-29336 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 09:11:16 +0000 http://walt.lishost.org/?p=617#comment-29336 i find it hard to believe that my blog is right after yours on the list, and ranks even higher than john’s. plus, aside from the dmoz thing, they used bloglines and ignored feedburner. but hey, recognition is still recognition =)

incidentally, i don’t think my blog is on the list because of my library-related posts. filipino students looking for speeches to recite in class (“talumpati” in tagalog) are the ones responsible for the high alexa rating, and links to my posts on the filipina are driving the technorati rating. anyway, woohoo!

If this was a study of “25 most widely read library people,” that makes sense (not that I claim such an honor, necessarily). Heck, I may be among the ten most widely *published* library people, particularly if books count extra…

But C&I isn’t Walt at Random (or vice-versa). That’s the “no” part–it may be part of Walt Crawford’s voice (I’d like to think a more important part than this blog, but may be wrong there), but it’s a different part.

I should note that John Dupuis posted an elegant discussion of the study and its faults at his own blog, after posting the first comment here…

But then again, C&I is really your voice. So whether it lands at C&I or WaR (horrible acronym) it adds somehow into the vote.

And, hey, you actually have something to say.

Anyway, didn’t say I wasn’t enjoying it. Just that it may be meaningless…

It may be meaningless, but I’m enjoying it.
