Last Call: Top 100 Software Development Blogs!

4 September 2008

Posted in Top Lists

The preparations for the Top 100 Software Development Blogs are going along nicely. Which is to say… my eyes are still not watery enough to feed my plants. And I keep RSI at bay by browsing and doing yoga at the same time.

I have received numerous nominations for the big list of blogs, and this is my last call for those of you who missed my previous announcement: Please send me your nominations for the Top 100 Software Development Blogs! The deadline closes next week on Wednesday, September 10th.

Here's a list of the nominations I have received so far. Next week I will start counting Google hits, Google Ranks, Alexa Ranks, Technorati Ranks, estimated numbers of feeds, and average numbers of comments for all nominated blogs. This will then result in the first-ever Top 100 Best Software Development Blogs in the World. Stay tuned…
