blogdex - the weblog diffusion index
IAP 2001

i'm back at my lab after a long and relaxing break. this period of time at MIT is referred to as the "independent activites period," which means that i will be working exclusively on blogdex for the next few weeks. here's a few of the things i'll be working on:

1. meme history: given the number of emails that i get about "can you tell me the url for meme x?" this feature is long overdue. it would be nice to see which memes have lasted the longest on the charts.

2. email digest: for people that prefer push to pop, we'll provide a daily and weekly email of memes on blogdex

3. social network explorer: i'm hoping to finish this sometime over the next couple of days. i need to create a few utilities to find and navigate these sites, along with a few social network measures that i've been working on.

if you've got any other suggestions, now's the time to bring them up, since i have the time.

Has there any been any real data to determine the ratio of male/female blogs?

or would it be unscientific simply because you would have to take the blogger's word for it? Just curious.

What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
