Why can't folks get back to talking about other things about which they have passion -- which I think is the core excitement of the 'spere. This current meme is raising the whole Hall Of Mirrors analogy to a whole new level. Move on, people. Nothing to see here. -- Stuart To me, the uber-issue on all of this navel-gazing/State of the Blogosphere/”I’m A-er than you” stuff over the past 10 days or so is the amount of bandwidth being spilt by bloggers about blogging and the state thereof. Why can’t folks get back to talking about other things about which they have passion — which I think is the core excitement of the ‘spere. This current meme is raising the whole Hall Of Mirrors analogy to a whole new level.

Move on, people. Nothing to see here.

Or will it be something like blogcode where bloggers rank each other? this is a question i've been trying to tackle for months. the best idea that i could could come up with a combination of a google algorithm and an ebay-like peer rating system. another approach is simply the early-days yahoo methodology in which they picked web sites they thought were interesting/good. i started this project - http://bestblogs.wikispaces.com/ - but had to stop because it seemed such an immense job. cheers, mark rob,
