The Wall Street Journal has posted the 25 top Economics blogs, observing that Econ blogs have risen in popularity in the wake of the recession. The article is good, though I am confused by the rankings.
I understand the ranking of originality (though I may not agree with it) but how do they measure Geekiness? Freakonomics receives a score of 1 calculator, while Marginal Revolution gets 5. How does that work when Freakonomics is based on a book almost completely about complex statistical regressions? And as for Readability, if a blog is given 5 reading glasses, does that make it is more or less accessible than a blog with four reading glasses? It seems the most readable blog would require no reading glasses.
...I feel like Andy Rooney.
