A call to the top 24 bloggers

from JoeUser Forums

Dear top 24 bloggers,

I have written a sequel to a previous article "Points systems, blogging and ants... and why popularity stinks" which is focused on blogger's point systems. As a discussing base, I have used the following "personal data" of the first 25 bloggers: user points, # articles and # comments. It  consist of a small investigation through statistical glasses and is by no mean a naming or mocking process. 

However, as you may feel embarrassed to see your data exposed, I'm asking you if you allow me to proceed and using your name. Names won't change the meaning at all, but their removal will reduce the overall readability of the article.

Leave a comments here or send me a mail to clarify your position. 

The article will be named "Points systems, blogging and ants ...(2) the ant and the cicada"and will be posted on Monday.

Thanks

Regards
blogging

im not in the top 240 but i gotta admit the cicada part is topical since this will be a year when the 17year variety will be dropping in to visit

Is this the top 25 blog sites or blogers? If sites, i'm safe from the comments. If blogers, just get to me last if you want.

Capt. over and out!

The ant article was fun.  I am up for anything, as long as it isn't slanderous.

I have chosen 25 bloggers partly because it makes me the last.

I want this to be particularly clear: it is not for making fun of whoever. If you want to be sure, I have a long track record of not going into this.

Don't be afraid of the cicada part: they are nice animal...


Thanks

Jepel~go for it big time! Especially since I'm not able to write as many articles as before (lots of problems with my antique computer right now, etc.), and I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hold onto that precious #24 position, huh? . I think your article is gonna turn out to be really cool! THANKS FOR DOING THIS!

I'm interested in what you are trying to prove.  That's not snide.  It's because what you try to prove might not turn out too well since the top bloggers are calculated on a different system than the top blogs.  Articles and comments on those articles effect the top blog sites more so than the top bloggers (especially the comments on the articles).  Top bloggers get most of their points from comments they make on other articles and points + or - for the interesting and trolling ratings.  Considering that you have no way to actually collect data on the top bloggers, you may spend a lot of time on "proving" nothing.

But, you can use my name for whatever it is that you are doing as long as you're not calling me foul names or something

Dear KarmaGirl,

Please feel free to correct me on Monday it will be good to have your insight view of it. I will try to surprise you. My article is already written so you might assess what I said.

MadPoet: I think you might like the result
Jilleuser: thanks for the information

To KarmaGirl and others, there will be no joke on anyone, (except me, but I have already signed an agreement)

We have been conversing by E-mail so I think you know that you have my official sanction. Again, I would request that you make it well known that your liege lord provided space for your Excel file. I also give you authority to mention the other bloggers in your list, I will be your buffer blogger, if they object they can deal with me. They are no match for me Jepel.

Don't rub it in Jill. I'd be interested in hearing about my site, even if it isn't quite as frequently updated anymore:)

While you are reading this Dan, I will warn you to stop sending me the abusive emails and leaving comments on my blog. I know for a fact it is you, I don't want to have to take it further so I am giving you fair warning.

I think it is rather sad that you have been banned and humiliated but you still prowl around here leaving your childish comments, using a thesaurus doesn't make your point intelligent it merely gives the impression of intelligence.

Before anyone accuses me of picking on anonymous Dan I would like to say that I do know for a fact it was him and I have proof of Dan's hate mail activities.
