Desert Island Blogs - Christopher Carfi

My desert island in the sun.

The folks over at my alma mater have created a nifty algorithm that answers the question: Which blogs should one read to be most up to date, i.e., to quickly know about important stories
that propagate over the blogosphere? The method they used was intended to answer the following: "If we can read only 100 blogs, which should I read to be most up to date if we want to be the first to know about something with many people blogging about the story after us?"

Here’s a link to the paper and supporting information.

And here are the 100 desert island blogs:

Does anybody besides me find it odd that Creating Passionate Users is on this list when Kathy Sierra hasn’t been blogging since April?
