Following the publication of our updated map of the political web, and in response to some questions we’ve received, here’s a top 5 list of conservative and progressive blogs excerpted from this dataset.
Please note this ranking is based on hyperlinks patterns (inbound links from other sites within the dataset) and does not take into account traffic comments or third-party data. Feel free to report to the “Map Keys” page under the Map tab.
I noticed that in your big blog map I couldn’t find Glen Greenwald or Paul Krugman who are major players.
Why? Because their blogs are buried inside major sites?
@MonkeyBoy : Your hypothesis is right and we’re working on this technical issue to be able to measure correctly influence of blogs with unusual url (like the one on salon : http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/). The map will be regulary updated and this bug should be fixed very soon !
