It's a fun exercise! I combined shared+starred+reads, but gave the reads a lower weight.</p><p>@Svetlana Gladkova, how about a normalized leaderboard, where the number of shared posts is divided by the total number of posts during the month? That way a blog with 500 monthly posts and 50 shared would be equal to a blog with 50 monthly posts and 5 shared?<br></p>1001noisycamerasSun, 10 Aug 2008 15:51:13 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1046048<p>Ah I missed VF...

I tend to think that while quantity is important since people simply tend to notice more of their pieces, without quality it does not matter since 10 creepy posts are worse than 1 good one.</p>Svetlana GladkovaMon, 28 Jul 2008 02:19:50 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1017564<p>I have no issues with the fact that TechCrunch, the Inquisitr and Read/Write Web are featured as high on this chart as they are. That's due to two things: # of total stories and quality or interest of stories. Until individual bloggers are producing more total posts than multi-author blogs, it will be typically weighted this way.</p>Louis GrayMon, 28 Jul 2008 01:24:49 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1017549<p>Louis, that's a great idea, another one that may help not only discover new sources but actually demonstrate what matters. What bothers me a little is that even you with your bias towards small individual bloggers still have the top 10 dominated by larger multi-author blogs. I guess that's another proof of your recent post supporting Techmeme and Techcrunch - the individual bloggers may try as hard as they might but the news will still be dominated by Techcrunch simply because they know how to produce tech news blog.</p>Svetlana GladkovaMon, 28 Jul 2008 01:22:20 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1014591<p>Thank goodness you didn't make this a Top 38 list!!</p><p>39 FTW!

There are people who do the things you do but they usually get paid for their work.</p><p>I know all the work you do here, up to and including your blog posts, are due to your genuine interest and enthusiasm for us and social media in general. As hard as it may be to believe, your career and living are made outside of this sphere. Add to that the busy private life of a new father and I absolutely have no idea how you manage to maintain your pace.</p><p>So, thank you. For everything.</p>Phil GlocknerSun, 27 Jul 2008 13:01:28 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1012915<p>Probably,shortening LG isn't so good <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5nuyxf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/5nuyxf">http://tinyurl.com/5nuyxf</a> </p>ScabrSun, 27 Jul 2008 06:26:14 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1010554<p>I never thought I'd see the day that I was on a leaderboard of any sort. :D #19 FTW!</p>James MishraSat, 26 Jul 2008 18:00:57 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1010536<p>Hank, it wasn't that long ago that I sent you an e-mail and said I've admired your work on your personal blog and on Silicon Alley Insider. I'm glad the data here proves it true in a big way.

I for one, would pay real cash to have him do some custom analysis. I even made some recommended price bands. Hopefully, when he wants to do it, we'll see some real effort there. As for me, I'm not a statistician. I just play one on TV.</p>Louis GraySat, 26 Jul 2008 05:54:21 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1007567<p>you and yuvi should start a company, or at least a stat service side business... amazingly analytical minds ... and the intuition (ha, analyze that!) to feel what to look for </p>gregorylentSat, 26 Jul 2008 05:35:22 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/07/roll-your-own-blog-leaderboard-with.html#comment-1007456<p>Wow - I'm honored.
