MiniSky: Thoughts About Everything

…..where your opinion counts! The article about the above includes a blog map, description and refers to DailyKos, Boingboing and  Michelle Malkin as leaders in Blogworld.  Dave Lucas provides explanations that “…In the blogosphere, the biggest audiences - go to a small, elite few. Most bloggers toil in total obscurity…” “…It’s the same thing you see in economies: the rich-get-richer problem…” .. and …“The top bloggers have become, in some cases the pets, and in some cases the tormentors of, the writers in the front rank”. 

I found the last point very interesting, as since the likes of DailyKos, Boingboing,  Michelle Malkin, Xiaxue, The Huffington Post, Crooks and Liars, Instapundit, Hot Air, Americablog, Jihad Watch, Captain’s Quarters, Go Fug Yourself, Iain Dale’s Diary, Tim Worstall, Girl with a one track mind, Meta Filter and Eschaton are considered my “pets”, then I command this assortment of good and bad bloggers (you know which you are), if you’re not already doing so, to promote the fatwa, speak against gun crime, fight racism and Islamophobia, call for the end of global poverty, fight to protect the victims in Sudan, condemn the Iraq war, defend the Palestinian causes, denounce the Israeli/Zionist crimes and criticise the disasterous Israeli policy in Palestine. 

Do not think this is as strange as it first appears.  Without ‘poor’ bloggers and enthusiastic commenter’s there would be no ‘rich’ blogs and the top bloggers therefore lose their popularity and rank.  If our views and interests can be represented through them via request or by compulsion, then let us control our blogosphere and ensure that they do so.  Rather then let the blog elite mimic the concept of capitalism and control we the Proletariat, let us instead control the Bourgeoisie!
