NYTimes links to Sast Wingees Speaketh!

I was checking my incoming links yesterday after a while. Lo &  behold, the venerable NY Times had linked to us. Pamela Paul wrote an interesting article titled “What are the blogs saying about me?”. She talks book blogs and their impact. As a part of writing this article, NYtimes ran an automated survey and picked the most blogged-about books of 2005. The preface of the survey reads –
 ” This list links to a selection of Web posts that discuss some of the books most frequently mentioned by bloggers in 2005. The books were selected by conducting an automated survey of 5,000 of the most-trafficked blogs. ” The survey linked to Blink and Freakonomics, which Sibu had written about and Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs & Steel and Collapse that I had written about. Congrats Sibu!  I am flattered that we are amongst the 5000 most-trafficked blogs! Thank you New York Times. However, Kottke seems to be very upset with this whole thing.

    Congrats Suku. To restate the obvious – you are doing a great job maintaining the blog and also providing most of the content for it. Keep them coming.

    Congrats Sukumar. It’s a great achievement. You never mention all this when you talk about your blogging experience. Your blog was linked by April H, right?

    I will look up Sibu’s blink review. Thats the next book on my list.
