Blogiology 101: Intro to Boston Blogs

Posted by Nina on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 9:16 am

If you know us, you know we’re…well, nerds.  We love data.  Because we aggregate content from thousands of sources in tens of thousands of local markets, we have lots of it to play with.

This is the first in a series of posts where we select a city to explore, crunch the numbers, and share the results with you. Wonder who are the city’s top bloggers? Which neighborhoods have the most buzz?  What stories captured residents’ attention last week?

Well, wonder no more because Outside.in’s Department of Blogiology is now open.

This week, we explore Boston, land of the defending world champion Red Sox, top notch universities, and one of the bloggiest cities in the U.S.  


BOSTON
Up and Coming Blogs (in no particular order)
Most Talked About Stories:
  1. Student Balcony Accident
  2. Police Commissioner Chases Down a Shoplifter
  3. Tobacco Ban
  4. Pedestrian Falls by Charles F. Hurley Building
Have your own Boston top 5? Tell us about it. Leave a note in the comments section.
Methodology:  Our rankings track local buzz by analyzing a mix of variables including: total number of posts, location of posts, links from other sites in the community, and feedback from Outside.in members. Bloggiest Neighborhoods/Top Blogs, past 30 days; Most Talked About Stories, past 7 days.

    May I suggest my own blog, Johnny's List of Weird Boston Events.

    It includes the largest New England list in each of the following: outdoor concerts, outdoor theatre, outdoor movies, haunted houses, July 4th celebrations, First Night celebrations, and holiday lights, as well as over 2,000 hand-picked annual events: all in the creative weird category. All copyright (c) Jon Monsarrat but contact me to ask about using the content. Generally all I want is my blog to be mentioned as the source.

    See it at http://WeirdBostonEvents.org

    This person is my Internet stalker. He has been making anonymous allegations to various websites months after any discussion has ended but purely for the purpose of destroying my reputation. I was cleared of the allegations involved in this post and respectfully request that this be removed.

    Oh look, it's my Internet stalker! He finds posts like this one — nearly 2 years old! — and links to his little hate site full of nasty allegations. See you in court, stalker! :)
