It’s been two months since Jason Calacanis announced his “Blog 500″ contest.Where’s the beef? Jason never announced a winner.

A Long Tail battle 1

Bob Wyman talks about problem’s he’s noticing with ranking on the long tail:If Matt had been able to see the full set of millions of ranks that we compute, he would have noticed a second “region” of very stable ranks….

PubSub LinkRank 1000 1

PubSub increased the space race here and released their PubSub LinkRanks 1000:The PubSub LinkRanks 1000 is a list of the most consistently influential sites that publish feeds, based on their average LinkRank scores from August 1st to August 30th, 2005…. We’ve also included a 15-day average as well as daily LinkRank data for August 30th as additional points of comparison.This is twice as good as the Feedster 500 and 10x as good as the Technorati Top 100!
