					<description><![CDATA[Well, ranking on a list is one way of determining influence.  Another way is to focus on quality, not ranking.  For some reason I think that a measure of a blog&#039;s importance (essentially the same thing as influence) is not necessarily in correlation with how high it might be ranked on a list. I know that the quality that comes from both of the Goldman blogs I read makes them pretty influential in my perception.

					<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s very kind of you to say, Evan.  However, there are thousands of quality blogs out there.  Plus, if a PR agency were trying to process thousands of blogs, it&#039;s very hard to judge quality or influence accurately.  But my broader point is that if PR agencies are futzing with small potatoes blogs like mine, they must see a lot of value in the blogosphere.  Eric.
