Gregory Morrow runs the DemocraticSpace.com blog and he loves numbers. I do, too, which means I'm one of those regular visitors who have made his site the 865,092nd most popular spot on the Web. That's the ranking -- don't you know? -- given to Mr. Morrow's site by the robot-ware at Alexa.com.
In fact, Greg ran some kind of algorithm to generate a ranking of many Canadian political blogs. Paul Wells of Maclean's is at the top of that heap, with Alexa's 39,375th most popular site.
Now, Morrow admits his list is a bit of a random thing and, ahem, this particular blog is not on his list. Not that I (really, really) care or anything, but, after running my URL through Alexa.com's engine, I find that I am the 4,450,828th most popular site on the Web which would put me on to Morrow's list, at number 70, right after Peter Loewen (is this the right site? Morrow does not have hyperlinks on his list so I have no idea if I have the right Peter Loewen.) and just before Urban Refugee.
My friend and colleague Bill Doskoch -- who is not so much a pure politics blogger as he is a politics/media/culture blogger -- would stake out the number 75 spot on Morrow's list, according to Alexa's ranking.
