WELL, I HAVEN’T MOVED on the latest Blogosphere ecosystem ranking, though Steven Den Beste is catching up. More power to him: he rules.

I’m a bit troubled by Bear’s suggestion that my proposal for open traffic counters will accelerate the separation of the Blogosphere into non-egalitarian spheres. I certainly hadn’t thought of that as a possible consequence of my proposal, and I don’t really see that it follows. Of course, my proposal was aimed more at big sites like Slate and The American Prospect than at bloggers, though that’s okay too. [InstaPundit]
