Comments on: The top journalism blogs, in English http://mindymcadams.com/tojou/2007/the-top-journalism-blogs-in-english/ Notes from the classroom and observations about today's practice of journalism online Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:06:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Pat Thornton http://mindymcadams.com/tojou/2007/the-top-journalism-blogs-in-english/#comment-6200 Pat Thornton Fri, 14 Dec 2007 23:00:53 +0000 http://mindymcadams.com/tojou/2007/the-top-journalism-blogs-in-english/#comment-6200 I like Social Rank because it tracks how a blog is doing now, not in the past. If you just measure RSS subscriptions, you'll find that many of those subscriptions are dormant or for people who don't blog very often. Adrian Holovaty has blogged about 2 times in the past 6 months. I'm not sure how big of a journalism blogger he is anymore, but he has a lot of people signed up for RSS feeds. But most of the lists I have seen seem pretty accurate, at least at the top. I have no idea what tomorrow brings, but I'll take the No. 35 spot for The Journalism Iconoclast after less than 6 months of postings.

I installed it yesterday to do my little project and then discovered it only works at the domain level. I missed the TechCrunch post but I'm glad someone has taken a closer look.

And Technorati is hugely idiosyncratic. Some links on Journalism Daily I need to check out, though! TechCrunch recently wrote about how useless Alexa is, so I ignore it now.
