Top 10 Blogs Update
Apr 11th, 2007 by Dre
As you continue to nominate the Top 10 Trinidad and Tobago Blogs another criteria that will be used is the Technorati ranking.
For those unfamiliar:
Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs, competing with Google, Yahoo and IceRocket. As of March 2007, Technorati indexes over 70 million weblogs.
With more than 70 million blogs being indexed it will be interesting to see where our Top 10 come out.

Top 10 Trinidad and Tobago Blogs
Actually, using technorati may not be that effective a means of measuring the top blogs since many Caribbean blogs don’t use technorati.
I dont think it will effectively measure the quality of a blog but some insight as to it’s ’savy’.
My first though here was that a ‘quality’ blogger would have accessed some of the blogging tools available such as feedburner and technorati, as you now see an up tick or adoption in MyBlogLog participants.
I think it will be interesting to see where they stack in Technorati even though the expectation of worldwide top billing does not exist.
there’s such a thing as information overload
in what context… ??
I was supposed to be replying to your comment.
I always forget to click reply to this comment.
WHat I mean is that when I sign up to all these services (trackers, analytics, feed burners, technorati etc etc) at some point you get so much information that it’s like information overload. Too much stuff to know what to do with. I mean, if it were a commercial effort, I guess fine but…for some it’s just light/fun/no-stress.
I get that. I know what you mean by information overload especially for those that regard it as just light fun etc. and thats the reason I only chose Technorati and not the whole slew of “how many visitors you have using IE Ver.7, on an XP Service pack 2 machine with Flash 9 installed.”
I think even if you fall into the fun category you should at least see where you come out, some Google themselves so I don’t think Technorati is a stretch, plus if a blogger blogs and no one reads isn’t it like a forest in the tree falling?
Any suggestions on other criteria are also welcomed.
Some bloggers say they blog for themselves and don’t mind how many readers they have, if any.
Of course maybe we say that because we have a small audience and we’re trying to make ourselves feel better
Those bloggers that blog for themselves should “lock” their blogs down and make them indiscoverable.
I tend to think the audiences on most blogs related to Trinidad are smaller because of the niche and back to your point of information overload as their are so many things to view online.
