- W2994427977 abstract "If I mentioned Thomas Friedman and George Will, surely you would know that they are among the nation's most influential newspaper columnists. But what about Markos Moulitsas and Michelle Malkin? If these names don't ring a bell, you haven't explored the world of web logs, or blogs for short. They are two of the nation's most influential bloggers. Likewise, if I asked what Diane Ravitch, Jack Jennings, and Kati Haycock have in common, you would say they are all contributors to K--12 education policy debates, oft quoted in the nation's leading newspapers. But what about Will Richardson, Joanne Jacobs, and Eduwon-kette? If these names are unfamiliar to you, it's time to visit the education blogosphere. As a relatively new education blogger myself (at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute's Flypaper blog), let me be your guide. Blogs burst onto the scene in the late 1990s and gained major momentum in the middle of this decade. By some estimates there are now more than 100 million blogs worldwide. But while reading and writing blogs is extremely popular--two blogging sites (blogger.com and wordpress.com) each receive more web traffic in the United States than the number-one online newspaper (nytimes.com)--no single blog is reaching a mass audience. For example, Daily Kos, one of the most prominent political blogs on the net, pulls in only 0.027 percent of the global web audience in a given period, versus 0.87 percent that read nytimes.com. More than 1,600 web sites in the U.S. get more traffic than Daily Kos; nytimes.com, meanwhile, is ranked number 24. (These data all come from alexa.com.) Blogs represent the end of the of the media; a new form of mass communication this is not. And at the far end of that long tail sits the education blogosphere, a niche within a niche, with as many as 30,000 blogs. Joan-nejacobs.com, written by a former San Jose Mercury News reporter and columnist, is among its leading lights, yet is ranked lower than about 140,000 other web sites in the US. (Compare that to edweek.org, which is ranked about 40,000th.) But Jacobs is a big fish in this small pond. Table 1 shows that her site, along with Richardson's weblogg-ed.com, significantly outplaces all competitors when measured by the number of other blogs linking to them recently. This isn't a perfect indicator of a blog's influence (while daily or monthly readership measures might be better, they are not available for all blogs) but it does show the authority given to a site by other bloggers. In this world, links are the coin of the realm, and the more the better.
