Janette Toral came up with a new initiative of naming the top 10 emerging influential blogs in 2007. I think this is a great idea because it will help us discover new blogs by looking at other people’s lists. Janette is also raffling off $100 to ten lucky bloggers.

Ratified.org Updates
Here’s a quick update for Ratified.org: 1. I’m currently trying to single out a bug that fails to update a blog’s Technorati rank. When that happens, it tends to screw up the blog’s history profile.
Do We Need a Blog Meme?
Lately I’ve been tinkering around with the endless possibilities of the Technorati API. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I added a section in Ratified.org simply called “Meme“. In a nutshell, it’s a blog meme that tracks the current and most popular stories in the Philippine blogosphere. The story’s relevance is measured by its… Continue reading Do We Need a Blog Meme?

I’ve got to hand it to everyone who’ve successfully organized parties (or more like parteehs?) and awards ceremonies.
