| So who are the 25 most popular library bloggers? Online Education Database (OEDb), an Internet resource for online colleges, continuing education, and distance learning, announced its Top 25 libloggers based on visitor traffic and site backlinks. Predicably, the results have stirred contention and criticism. To calculate the rankings, OEDb tallied each site’s Google PageRank, Alexa Rank, Technorati Authority, and Bloglines subscribers. Among other criteria, a blog had to be listed on the DMOZ open-directory page Library and Information Science: Weblogs; written by a librarian, or listed in the top 200 results for a Google search for “librarian blog.” These metrics narrowed the list to 55 blogs. Nearly half made the final cut. |
