Very smart move. I'd publish any list that has my blog as being more relevant than NYTimes and CNet as well, especially considering their valuations. Additionally, I'm assuming that you plunged into the data as part of your corporate development program around building a larger blogging network. Any good finds out there or are they all still taking stupid VC money? Nice self-promotion TechCrunch. Very smart move.

Techcrunch dominates Techmeme anyway, and most of the TC stories that make it as headlines there aren't what I would call newsworthy: they're just about the blogoshere or about a rumor that never turns out to be anything. Not saying that TC doesn't deserve a lot of headlines though. ^ I agree.

Our database has several posts from your blog, though not enough to make it onto the all-time publications leaderboard (http://www.crunchbase.com/bloggerboard/tech/publication/louisgray-com) though you are on the 30-day list (http://www.crunchbase.com/bloggerboard/tech/publications?date=last_30_days). It seems that your posts tend to stay on the site for longer than average, which is why your Techmeme Leadboard rank is higher than your BloggerBoard rank. Actually, if we divide the Techmeme Leaderboard "Presence" rating by the number of headline posts over the last 30 days, we get a sort of proxy for per-post impact. Here's that measure for a handful of sites, normalized to TechCrunch = 1.0: TechCrunch: 1.0 ReadWriteWeb: 1.1 Wall Street Journal: 0.8 TorrentFreak: 1.2 A VC: 1.0 louisgray.com: 1.35 @Louis
