nz blogosphere survey [new]

Everyone's too polite to say anything - it's coming, OK. The nz blogosphere is grinding to a May survey result. Later than I would have hoped; later than the market has come to expect. Alas, the Super City submission, the Matariki observations and intercalation determination, the Foreshore and Seabed review panel report and so on... the lawns. Wimbledon. But it is happening shortly and here is what's new to the list:

The best ones appearing for the first time in the list rankings are the Labour caucus blog Red Alert, James Coe's Editing the Herald, Scott Yorke's Imperator Fish, John Spavin's Journalista and Jake Quinn's Life and Politics. These are all very good blogs. Michelle Boag - on the other hand - is a crap blog.

Serious thought to Dan News, Interest.co.nz and Invest on Credit has taken place regards their content/opinion/corporate status and their inclusion. At the moment they remain outside.
