POLITICAL BLOGS….This is a little old, but Intelliseek’s BlogPulse is a cool site that tracks blogs and the issues blogs talk about. The chart below shows their ranking of the 35 “most cited” political blogs during the 2004 campaign (note that the rankings go from the bottom up). I don’t know what their methodology is since all their site says is that they “mined and analyzed politics-specific data in a variety of ways,” but it’s interesting anyway. They also have a variety of charts showing top media sources, top blog issues, and so forth. Enjoy.
