Thank for listing out my site in one of your favourite lists ! Cool, I didn’t know that my work reach America. Cos, job offers just keep flooding my mailbox.

For the library communities, I share some tipsy that what librarians can ride on. More on http://hazmanaziz.com.

Thanks, mate.

I don’t see this as a political thing, just a structural flaw. The sample selected is “some derivative of Meredith Farkas’ readers.” (Derivative because those of us who read Meredith *and* blog, may have chosen to link — you didn’t and I didn’t, but that doesn’t mean others did not). If you are a reader of Meredith Farkas, you are probably also aware of Dorothea Salo, Walt Crawford, Ryan Deschamps and others.

The context could have played a role as well. I don’t know about others, but knowing that Meredith and Steve Cohen were snubbed in the OEDB survey was at top of mind when I voted for them.

I’m certainly not aware of any campaigning to be favorited, and would almost swear that no such campaigning happened. Not everything’s political (and I’m as fond of citing the “echo chamber effect” as anyone).

I loved this one because (as others have said) it reveals some possibly-interesting blogs that I hadn’t heard about. Haven’t gotten around to checking them yet (I need to do some pruning, as I’d like to stay under the 400 liblog mark), but certainly will.

And all this time I thought people were ending up at my blog by accident. Or the catchy name…;)

Any meaning we can take from these results is rather minimal given the very small sample size. I think the best thing we can get out of this is that there are some neat blogs out there that many of us have never heard of and now we have.
