Fine Fools Community

I am obsessed with the statistics of the blogosphere. I crawl Technorati and PubSub regularly and am always amazed to see the new sites creeping their way up the charts. One site that always sticks out though is Xiaxue’s site. Never heard of her? Well the site is run by Wendy Cheng and it isn’t about blogging, politics, business, Web 2.0 or anything else that you may think only top bloggers write about. The site is about her and that’s all her readers care about.

Now for a second (just for a second) let’s ignore how great looking she is and let’s focus on the pull this woman has on the web. As of this writing, according to Technorati, she has over 3,564 sites linking to her. Not links mind you, actual sites. That is unbelievable and places her at #31 on the Technorati 100 ahead of:

• Scoble
• Defamer
• Joel Spolsky
• Jeff Jarvis
• Joystiq
• Seth Godin
• Steve Rubel
• Signal vs. Noise

I know all these statistics, must be taken with a grain of salt, but they do provide a small glimpse of the web.

Things are definitely getting more and more interesting in Fine Fools land. Ridiculous.
