David Sifry took Clay Shirky's essay about power-law distribution in weblog popularity to heart and has revised his Technorati blog-mining service to compile the "Technorati Interesting Newcomers."
Basically, I set the ranking algorithm to give more weight to people
with a moderate link cosmos (but at least 40 bloggers are linking to
them) who have said something that has caused a proportionately large
number of new inbound links to come their way.It isn't a perfect system, but hopefully a random click on any of the
blogs listed in the top 100 will lead to interesting reading, and
perhaps, a new addition to your blogroll.
(Thanks, David!)
