Tweaking with the formula

Monday, December 29th, 2008

The rankings are a bit messed up as you may know because the range of the stats are lower than expected.

Some people contacted me about that and thanks.

We are working on it and we’ll get this fixed before the new year :-)

The idea behind youngestblogger.com

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Just after launch someone submitted Youngest Blogger to Digg – just when it got submitted, the votes keep pouring in right when someone left a negative comment.

Although, I couldn’t blame him because maybe he’s just helping his friend who is coincidentally my friend too.

He’s made conclusions but as the submitter said in the comments…

let’s just wait for both sides to speak before giving comments that is really not proven.

I just want to clear out that the idea to compile a list of young bloggers is a project I’ve started a long time ago. In fact, I’ve registered the domain a little over a year now and posted a job listing on Elance about 3-4 months ago.

Here’s a screenshot of a private message I sent to a developer on elance.

I am sad that this had to happen exactly on Christmas and I feel sorry for the complication that we had the same project.

Formula update

Friday, December 26th, 2008

The formula has been updated to…

Age: 20%
Google PR: 25%
Technorati: 30%
Alexa: 25%

We are still working on it though, it’s not yet fully set upped so you may see some sites that should be ranking high in the dumps – we’ll get into it!

Getting everything set upped

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Launch is Christmas day. We are compiling the list of youngest bloggers now.

There maybe still a couple of bugs on the site but we must push through…
