And – you should always question it. I don’t care whether I’m on it or not. But what interests me is the bias of the list, and which blog they’re setting this up to plug. Look at the list, over time, and ask, “which of these does not belong” (and I don’t know the answer, because I haven’t seen the list, because there was no URL).

see it as that ‘greater recognition’ we’ve spoken of all that time ago. OK I googled Learning Signal – don’t worry about how they determine ‘best learning’ “We use SocialRank software to monitor each of the best learning sites and determine today’s hottest articles and bloggers in the field.” Just accept and know you deliver and participate in bloody good learning. They continue …
“This is done by analyzing how sites and users link, connect, and discuss each other’s content.” This is something you work hard at and do very well. The benefits for yourself and others are evident … This bit is something you can more than accept but celebrate … well done!

BTW from the start of this comment to now you went from 9th to 10th. Another post, another day, another hour and you will move up and down that list [with all the links (including within your own blog), reading/comments on other blogs, tags, technoratiing, etc] but I’m sure you’ll stay in the top ten. More importantly with the quality of your blogging and open social networking you deserve to be there along with all the others you mention.

Do check out Wesley’s ‘Moving at the Speed of Creativity’ post http://tinyurl.com/2lmznb It suggests that you would have had prior knowledge (Learning Signal notified you that they were going to ping your blog?) and continues with some implications for possible ‘blog scraping’ and Creative Commons licensing … does any of this affect you?
