I always wonder where they originated. As I understand it, Daypop ranks the top 40 posts to weblogs based upon how often the posts are read or linked to or something. This implied that if something begins to run up the charts at Daypop, a bunch of weblogs are covering or repeating the item. Yet, I can’t find where I missed this one in the weblogs I read today. It’s no big deal. I continue to try to figure out how all these weblogs align with (and against) each other.
This was worth reading, though, and none of the weblogs I read today picked it up.
