Out from under
I made it through the filing deadline, head down most of the time, so I've got a lot of catching up to do.

BNN “Influence Index”
Much of the blogsphere is in a tizzy over the release yesterday by BlogNetNews of its "Influence Index." I think I've been pretty clear about what I think of so-called "blog rankings."
