The questions on how to deal with the search engines, how to increase our rankings and get to the top of search lists are serious and actual to everyone.
It is good to read fully open sharing of personal insights on that theme. However, one thing worries me. It looks that the most are concern just with increasing the publicity but not the level of personal relationships.
I am deeply convinced that the search engines are just tools to meet with each other, but not our primary goals.
The design of the letter is always the secondary; the main thing is our relationships. I am interested not so much in increasing my mailing list (that is good of it self) but in building on friendship that was already made.

Does that mean these are the heavy duty blogs that link back at you and make you stay at #1 in wordpress list or any search engine with good traffic?

Uh oh Robert, #2 on your list caught in a subscriber fudged number scandal:
http://www.nik.com.au/archi...

Also find it interesting that of your top 20, only two are single author blogs (Rubel and Web Strategy by Jereimiah). If I mislabeled another single author blog in your top 20, please correct.

Not a criticism, but an observation based on this data: seems like you prefer to link/share content from firehose publications -- those with multiple authors and many, many posts per day -- versus those from single authors.

This provides value to those who would rather get someone else's view of the best of these overactive pubs. I see this as a benefit that people like you, Robert, are helping to filter these signals.

I was planning something similar but I am finding it tough to get the programmers in New Delhi.

So, I am down to writing for the MediaVidea blog for the moment.

Why bother AOL massive user search query leak when you have a tool like this? It should be pretty obvious that any blogger does vanity read (for validation sometimes), and this pretty much gives his identity.

Of course, since anyone sharing his read items pretty much gives his identity anyway (as in Robert Scoble's link blog), this does not seem to matter much at first sight.

But, look the bigger picture, and see how all this information from Google Reader users could be aggregated by Google (or some other company) yet still retain the finest granularity level. This my friends competes with AOL massive user search leak.

It smells a bit ironical that so much people careful of their privacy would want to give it away like that...

LayZ: where's your link blog? Seems you only like to throw bombs but you don't actually do anything of your own.

I bet your boss really loves you if you carry this attitude toward work. I wonder if you actually do ANYTHING? How do you survive at work?

Where's Prezza Technologies?? We make some damn good survey software (high end stuff, not like the monkey).

I'm looking forward to some cypher-punk (yes, cypher) dystopian future, blade runner kind of Internet where Scoble will be blogging for the Tyrell Corporation and socialism will be the dominant form of government. There will be cameras everywhere and the government will be blogging us. Google ads for offworld ho's and escapes to other planets.

@22 Not only do you dictate HOW bloggers and companies should blog,but now you determine THE BEST of the blogosphere? Wow! How do you handle the responsibility. I had no idea you were the designated filter for the blogosphere. :-)

Ben,

I do wince occasionally now at a few of the less tech items that have been on his link blog lately :)

Well I am suprised that there are more comments to your "list" than your whacko political views. Dosen't anyone care anymore?

I have put the reading list in one structured web page:

This is how OPML files cab be converted to a web page.

Geez, I don't even make the top 40 ... guess I gotta write more interesting stuff! ;)

Re: The 40 things I link to the most

Michael.NET — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 13:42:14 -0000

Here's my top five:
Robert's shared items 53
MSDN Blogs 35
Scobleizer - Tech Geek Blogger 11
The Daily WTF 11
TechCrunch 9

Look whose number 1 AND number 3. And yes Robert there's alot of feeds I don't subscribe to because I know the best of them will come my way via you. Though there's a number I've subscribed to because you've featured them at some point or another.

David: I only post things to my link blog that reach a certain bar of quality in my mind. Only 1 out of every 25 posts I read gets shared with you. So, look at this list as "best of the best."

When someone invents something for quality metrics about links or readership instead of just quantity, I'll be amazed!

@13 Yuvi,
What Google gives here is nice but what you bring to the table is a feast. You may have kicked the idea (Google Reader Trends) off.

Don't sweet this, you are still on a roll.
