they can’t all be winners

i had an idea for a new feature to add to blog-la-sphere: by looking at what people in the blog-la-sphere are linking to, generate a list of the most-blogged-about items. the problem i ran into is that once i pulled out all the links, it turns out that the most-linked-to story in the last month only got five links. the rest of the top five only got two.

the “buzziest” story was michael richard’s tirade at the laugh factory.

the idea was inspired by sam ruby’s mememe implementation, but i didn’t push things nearly as far along because of the low number of blog-la-sphere memes.
