how famous are my friends?
how famous are my friends.
Jeremy and I were talking about something. Who knows because we have never really understood what the other person is saying, though Jeremy would say that he understands what he and I are saying, and that I have not much of a grasp on anything. But somehow he mentioned that he was in the top 100,000 bloggers. He wasn't taking that as a point of pride. I have tried to avoid getting too popular, since I want to talk to: myself (though I do that IRL), my friends, and my students. I have changed my blog address many times over the past 6 years, and have avoided getting caught up in the maelstrom of popularity. But I wondered. So I went to technorati... which is a problem in and of itself since it really only cares about people who care about people caring about them. Unproblematized, but whateva!
These are just for people I know personally, except for Joi, but he's met my ex-cat many times.

It is sunday, and before 9am, and I forgot why I wanted to do this... but it was interesting to find out all this information.
