A Internet deve ter milhares de blogs de boa qualidade. Uma leitura individual, porém, não é possível: quando chegarmos ao milésimo blog, por exemplo, os primeiros 200 já estarão atualizados e aguardando nova leitura. Só podemos lidar com isso através de sites especializados que tenham um método convincente de seleção dos melhores, derramando uma lágrima furtiva por aqueles que jamais leremos. Um desses sites que avaliam blogs e publicam regularmente os resultados é o Wikio. Para o Cognição, Linguagem e Música que vos fala, a categoria dos blogs de ciência é a mais pertinente, e o Wikio não decepciona. Veja os cem melhores de cada mês aqui. Um passeio despreocupado pela listagem dá a impressão de que os critérios de seleção são corretos, ainda que darwinianos xiitas solipcistas. Veja como a lista é compilada:
The position of a blog in the Wikio ranking depends on the number and weight of the incoming links from other blogs. These links are dynamic, which means that they are backlinks or links found within articles.
Only links found in the RSS feed are included. Blogrolls are not taken into account, and the weight of any given link increases according to how recently it was published. We thus hope to provide a classification that is more representative of the current influence levels of the blogs therein.
Moreover, the weight of a link depends on the linking blog’s position in the Wikio ranking. With our algorithm, the weight of a link from a blog that is more highly ranked is greater than that of a link from a blog that is less well ranked.
Our rankings are updated on a monthly basis and also include Top Blogs for several categories: Technology, Politics, etc. New categories will be added on a regular basis.
