Relatedly…
I seem to recall that last year that we copped a bit of stick for suggesting that Larvatus Prodeo was an influential blog. This was, of course, partly premised on Axel’s issuecrawler analysis of issue networks in the Australian blogosphere. The value of this analysis was disputed at the time, by other influential bloggers.
I’ve been meaning to post on some information that was passed onto me on this very topic, but it seems that Trevor Cook has beaten me to it. There’s very similarly-premised research from Dr Colin McLeod, Marketing honcho from the AFL, suggesting that… LP is an influential blog.
Presumably, aforementioned prominent bloggers will be writing to the AFL forthwith to dispute their findings.
Well done, in any case, to the LP crew.
Thanks, Jason.
We await the loud denunciations from the usual suspects!
