One last regarding blogs during 2007
So, being a baseball fan I have an unhealthy interest in statistics. So I decided to run the numbers of all Blog Net News Most Influential Bloggers numbers on a week-by-week basis to determine who was the most influential blog or blogger in Maryland in 2007. I ran the numbers much like they do for the NCAA rankings, 20 points for 1st place, 19 for second, all the way down to 1 point for the 20th ranking. I just added the points up to see who was # 1.
Ladies and gentlemen, statistically speaking Maryland’s Most Influential Blogger of 2007 was……..Me.
Here are the point totals for the top 20:
| 1 | Brian Griffiths | 487 |
| 2 | monoblogue | 443 |
| 3 | Free State Politics | 439 |
| 4 | Salisbury News | 407 |
| 5 | Maryland Politics/Red Maryland | 396 |
| 6 | Hedgehog Report | 303 |
| 7 | Pocomoke Tattler | 302 |
| 8 | Delusional Duck | 300 |
