They show which items are popular. It might be useful to refine the categorization into "hosting" among other categories. There's some value in knowing which videos are hot, but that's not the same as what punditry is most echoed. The whole list is amusing in a way - gadgets, videos, and demagoguery. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss ... I think that the links to “Crooks And Liars” are meaningful, even if it’s for hosting rather than commentary. They show which items are popular.

Many thanks for commenting on our team's analyisis of top blog posts, ranked by inbound links. We agree with you: it's lame that all we had was a PDF (on Jonathan's blog). For the record, the full chart kept making Moveable Type crash, when trying to embed the chart in the actual post, so the PDF was the best we could do at that moment. (Trust me, I don't like PDF's, either.) Since then, we simply created a standard Web page and linked to it <a href="http://www.nielsenbuzzmetrics.com/clients/NBZM-Scorecard-TopPost-2006.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If you have recommendations for making this list and other analyses more illuminating -- questions you think we should try to be answering -- our team would love your input. We're working on a new schedule and frameworks for these and other public, macro views of the data for 2007. Of course, we also try to open up a lot of the technology to the public on blogpulse.com. We are a commercial enterprise, but we're all also very passionate about our work and appreciate feedback from the broader community. Thanks, Max Kalehoff Hi Dan,
