IMHO their method for ‘research’ is pretty strange – but just counting links & relations in Google. Hopefully some day most commercial providers will share some official data. I also thinks judgement by sheer numbers makes no sense. It neither reflects the strenght of a community (and LJ is more like a community) and the quality of content – also missing are numbers about paying users (like for typepad). It would be more interesting to see which tool really makes money …
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
