(Excerpts from Harvard Business Review)
"Rating the Blogs"
Several companies are already ranking Web logs by various criteria. Daypop, for example, creates a score that is intended to be proportional to the probability that a reader will arrive at a site while randomly hopping from blog to blog. (The ranking changes all the time; this was the order on December 4, 2004.)
