Op en Komst Blogs
18 mei, 2007 · door David Bradley
De zelf Gemaakte plaats van Meningen onlangs voorgekomen hoogste 100 blogs die op de telling van de voerabonnee zoals wordt gebaseerd langs geopenbaard Feedburner. Gratifyingly, mijn Sciencebase.com plaats is in de lijst. Vrij een beetje voorbij halverwege neer, maar in Hoogste 100 niettemin.
Post auteursAl Carlton zegt, „Één statistiek dat I†™m bijzonder geinteresseerd in het aantal abonnees is de verschillende plaatsen op verschillende gebieden… I hebben dachten het zowel interesserend als pret zou zijn om hoogste 100 (of zo) van de plaatsen met het hoogste bestede voer te creëren, zo Zaterdag ochtend rond doend een groot sleepnet.“
Ik dacht, ben niet het over tijd de kleinere plaatsen een weinig dit soort glorie kregen, zodat heb ik samen een soort „Bodem Tien“ van en komend blogs, degenen opgeheven die tonen geen reusachtige abonneeaantallen maar interessant niettemin zijn en één dagbereik konden die heady hoogten door blogs flaunted die in de post van Carlton wordt vermeld.
Zo, hier zij, zijn om voor mijn sleepnet gekwalificeerd te hebben blogs moesten hebben dan minder dan 100 abonnees toen ik bezocht, of niveaus waarschijnlijk niet vrij met weinig verkeer tonen kunnen wezenlijke abonneeaantallen hebben.
Ik hoop niemand bij wordt omvat in deze Bodem Tien lijst beledigd is, te vertellen gelieve me of bent u, of of weet u u meer abonnees hebt dan ik heb gezinspeeld op.
Eerst omhoog is Blah Blah van Wayne Smallman's Het Nieuws van de technologie, werken deze Webontwerper en PHP guru hard om zijn plaats van de horde daar te onderscheiden andere plaatsen van gegevensverwerkingstechnologie en echt slagend. Hij schijnt om verbinding het lokken in het verleden geprobeerd te hebben, dat geen probleem is, maar de recentere posten verstrekken niets dan rots stevige informatie, en dat zal waarschijnlijk om in punters te trekken en zijn aantallen van de voerabonnee omhoog te worden dan iets anders.
Ten tweede, is Andrew Sun's blog Op de Weg. Andrew is gebaseerd in China en is een occasionele commentator op posten in Sciencebase.com. Hij is een gediplomeerde student in materialenwetenschap en zijn blog naar het blogging netwerk van de internationale Aard van het wetenschapsdagboek onlangs verplaatst, dat waarschijnlijk de beste beweging is hij kon gemaakt hebben. Toen ik het laatst zijn erfenis blog plaats bekeek had hij enkel één abonnee, maar die aantallen zijn ernstig op de stijging nu hij in de club van de Aard is.
Daarna online is Tony Williams' ChemSpider chemisch gegevensbestand blog. I’m working with Tony on a new chemistry blog for ChemSpider called Spinneret, but in his blog he discusses the trials and tribulations of starting up a chemical database service for the millions of molecules out there. At the time of writing there were 11million+ compounds in the database.
Business writer Matthew Stibbe runs a couple of websites, one for his main business and the other, the Bad Language Blog, where he vents steam about the issues of the day, such as the horrendous use of language. Why, he asks are the home and end keys on your computer keyboard named as such, why not top and bottom, and why, when he dialed a wrong number did the operator tell him the number was “inappropriate”? Surely, it was just wrong! Presumably an inappropriate number would be one that resembled an expletive when viewed upside down on a pocket calculator! Anyway, Matthew has a sharp and witty tongue, so his is definitely a site to check out. I have to admit I don’t know how many subscribers he has, so apologies, if he is over the 100 mark.
Another sciencey blog, this time from Hsien-Hsien Lei, who keeps an eye on DNA and asks how our knowledge and ability to exploit this double helical molecule going to improve our lives.
Here’s a blog with probably a rather small niche audience, although that said, they are fast approaching the target subscriber figure set out above - Building the Ergonomic Guitar. Now, I have a few guitars already, but nothing like this, and I certainly agree that the ergonomics of conventional guitars leave a whole lot to be desired. The odd thing about this blog, which I suppose also makes it quite intriguing, is that embedded between posts on ergonomic guitars there are the occasional post about the nature of copyright infringement and the art of blogging itself.
Tim Eade is another web designer on the market, and yes those are his feet on the beach. His site ITS GUI showcases the sites he has designed as well as offering readers his eclectic picks from the world of IT Services: Cool Widgets, iGoogle info, single-use email address advice, and more.
This blog is not so much a blog as a source of some great leads for freelance writers. There is no one quite so dedicated to the freelance cause as Deborah Ng, who runs Freelance Writing Jobs. Almost on a daily basis, with few breaks, she manages to share with her readers dozens of leads and this, of course, is in between working on her own freelance writing career.
Michael Kenward is a fellow science journalist, one who also has a shared name with a science Professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, oddly enough. Mike’s blog brings his biting commentary on a wide range of issues in the form of genetically modified words and other musings in the domain where science and business collide.
Last, but not least, the blog of Phil Bradley (no relation) covers all kinds of topics that should be close to every blogger’s heart - search engines, social bookmarking, and a lots more besides. Phil is a former librarian but now describes himself as an internet consultant, and good luck to him. He provides a wealth of information here covering neat sites, such as Trailfire and Meebo to the latest developments on Google.

Thanks, David! You’re so generous to have taken the time to create such a great list. I’m proud to say, however, that I broke 100 feed subscribers this week but please don’t boot me off!

Thanks for mentioning the ChemSpider Blog. There are two related to the ChemSpider service - the one at http://www.chemspider.com/blog all about the vision, politics and science behind ChemSpider and the one at http://www.chemspider.com/news this one is all about changes in functionality, requests to the users for feedback, suggested new developments and so on.

Thank you, David. (Soar, number of subscribers, soar! For Mao’s sake…) However, subscribing to a blog means the reader is interested and anticipating future posts in that blog. It is an overall appreciation of the blogger, a relatively difficult effect to achieve. It would be hilarious if at least some of my posts could trigger some comments or feedbacks in other forms.

Andrew, I am sure that now you are on the Nature Network you will start to see more traffic and subscribers than before. Good luck.

David - Thanks so much for the mention. As you mention, my site on ergonomic guitars is a niche subject which is a limiting factor. In addition, I think I face some challenges regarding my audience’s familiarity with RSS. I haven’t seen any studies but it strikes me that RSS is still primarily something employed by a generally tech savvy audience. As I write this, I think I’ve provided myself with some food for thought - maybe a post providing an introduction to its use?
