I would disagree about Wikio's ratings being strictly non-US, as I write the Collaborative Piano Blog from Canada (most of the time). That explains the absence of hugely influential blogs such as Norman Lebrecht's Slipped Disc, which would almost certainly score in the top 3 of this list.Chris Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248396106719265480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-13528340986754173622011-05-04T08:38:44.307-04:002011-05-04T08:38:44.307-04:00I'm always a bit skeptical of rankings, especi...I'm always a bit skeptical of rankings, especially when they're not accompanied by an explanation of how they are derived or, like Wikio's rankings, an explanation of how they might be used.<br /><br />Back in October of last year, I asked Wikio about the basis for these rankings. They told me that they're ranked according to the number and weight of links from other blogs and Twitter. They also separate rankings by territory, so this list does not include blogs from outside the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-22147086659214258722011-05-02T13:31:31.283-04:002011-05-02T13:31:31.283-04:00Thanks geor3ge!Thanks geor3ge!Chris Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248396106719265480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-81528149524878607902011-05-02T13:27:13.904-04:002011-05-02T13:27:13.904-04:00Congratulations to both of you! :)Congratulations to both of you! :)geor3gehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382136451663610951noreply@blogger.com
