I'm privileged to have been given a preview of this month's top political blogs from Dan at Wikio. The full list will be published this Saturday 5th December. So without further ado here you are:
Congratulations to the Scottish based Tom Harris at 7 (and another thing), SNP Tactical Voting at 30 and the wifey at 40. If there are any blogs I've missed which you know are based in Scotland, please let me know.
Blimey, there must have been some sad one outside the forty!! No, seriously, well done and you deserve to make the top-ten soon. Onward and upwards, girl!
Didn't know a league existed and somewhat disappointed that it does.
However having been enlightened I checked out a few - Nick Robinson, Harris and somebody called Bear.
The latter is into the quick,slick and largely vacuous shit - he even offers merchandise? so not impressed.
Harris is a serving MP and if he's worthy of the position he's more to do than blog or expose his twit tendency.
Robinson as a servant of the State Broadcasting Service with all the resource and access to truthful analysis that these should afford, is the prime example of the old saying - In this world there are servants who ride horses while princess walk.
While it's pretty obvious the top blogs have little to fear from the Crinkly effort, we regard that as a compliment rather than an insult.
It's the difference between a manipulated game being marketed and genuine belief.
But don't take that as a criticism SR, we're pleased that you and Jeff (both of whom we regard as in the genuine category) are pleased. So well done
Oh Crinkly, I can rely on you to bring a smile to my face.
Thank you for the compliment.
Yes it does appear to be rather unfair when some could be called 'professional' bloggers but I'm not too into statistics and am still puzzled how these work, so really I don't get too excited about it. To others statistics are a matter of life or death I think! I haven't done anything in particular to achieve this lofty status believe me.
But put your blog on the wikio list Crinkly, you just never know.
Well you missed the Greek Baby at 16 and Mr Massie who we have been counting since he entered the list.
ReplyDeleteI guess my job in a few days time of doing the complete run down of the MacBlogosphere is save then. :-)
Whit - mah blog's no in the tap ten? No even in the tap 100???
ReplyDeleteIt's a scam - its rigged Ah tell ye.
Well done the wifey:0)
It was a postal vote
ReplyDeleteScunnert... It must have been rigged.
ReplyDeleteSubrosa, congratulations to you!
Mine will be titanic like this month. Not that I care particularly much.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the rest?
ReplyDeleteNice work Subrosa, I had always assumed the sneak preview was given to the most charming and pleasant of the top 100.
ReplyDeleteA fitting recipient this month ;-)
Congrats :-) I hope the other plans for the domination of the Scottish blogosphere are also coming to fruition :-D
ReplyDeleteWell done all round.
ReplyDeleteBlimey, there must have been some sad one outside the forty!! No, seriously, well done and you deserve to make the top-ten soon. Onward and upwards, girl!
