- Many hands make light work: five of the top ten science blogs
are written not by individuals but by groups of scientists.
- On 5 July, 2,277 sites linked to our top ranked science blog,
Pharyngula
.
- On the same day, Technorati's top blog was that of Xu
Jing Lei, a Chinese actress. That blog was linked to from 29,181
sites.
- Publisher scienceblogs.com has been recruiting star science bloggers:
22 of the top 50 science blogs, including Pharyngula, now live on
its site. Scienceblogs pays its bloggers US$70 a month for 50,000
to 250,000 page views, and $300 for 250,000 to 1 million, according
to one blogger.
- Alf Eaton's Hublog
would have made our list of 50 popular blogs, with a rank of 34,482,
but he was dropped as he is no longer a working scientist. Last
month he left his job as a postdoctoral researcher in Toronto to
work for Nature Publishing Group in London.
