I don't think it technically possible for me to network any more than I do already - not without giving up the day jobs anyway :) @don actually, my goal is to encourage others to get more involved in networking/connecting.

If I look at the stats of say, MyBlogLog when comparing blogs that I author, they paint an entirely different picture to Technorati. Regarding the French blog rank, weren't many of the top ones, er, French? I've never heard of many of them either. How do we rank? Inbound links alone? No. Number of RSS subscribers? No. What if there was a European award which encouraged each blog to include a badge, encouraging readers to vote for them. So, let the public vote. You could even segment when all votes are counted to get category winners - reads don't have to choose a category. I can't think of any other way. @Don, I think only analytics type tools can measure this type of stuff.

Now 280000+. C'est la Vie. On another note. A french blogger (Gonzague Dambricourt) has published a <a href="http://blog.gonzaguedambricourt.com/2008/01/06/les-60-premiers-blogs-europeens/" rel="nofollow">top 60 European blogs</a>. First english blog is at no.12. Surprises me that! Would like to see where he gets his figures from. Also I have never heard of 80% plus of those blogs.
