This blog is one of the Top 20 education blogs, according to PostRank, which ranks blogs based on “engagement,” a formula that purports to measure how thoroughly readers interact with a blog’s content: bookmarking, commenting, sharing or writing about a particular blog’s content. It’s a nice validation of the main purpose of this forum, which is to create and sustain a dialogue among smart people with a passion for education.
Tech whiz Scott McLeod at Dangerously Irrelevant is confused by the rankings and raises many valid points. Many blogs that I follow faithfully are not ranked at all, which suggests that PostRank is not casting a wide enough net. But regardless, this is a good opportunity to thank everyone who takes the time to stop by, read, post, contribute, opine and argue.
Engagement, indeed!
