Apparently I’m #25 on the Top 100 Blogs for Development Managers

The full list is here. It’s a pretty prestigious group–and I’m totally floored that I’m there next to some pretty big names.

In homage to Ms. Sally Fields, of so many years ago… “You like me, you really like me”. Having somebody come up to me at a conference and tell me how much they like my blog is second on my list of “fun things to happen to me at a conference”, right behind having somebody come up to me at a conference and tell me how much they like my blog, except for that one entry, where I said something totally ridiculous (and here’s why) ….

What I find most fascinating about the list was the means by which it was constructed–the various calculations behind page rank, technorati rating, and so on. Very cool stuff.

Perhaps it’s trite to say it, but it’s still true: readers are what make writing blogs worthwhile. Thanks to all of you.
