Eikongraphia上发布的，觉得值得转载。足够丰富你的网络阅读资源。均为评选出的有关建筑的个人BLOG。以下是详细介绍。可以着重一两个，全部的内容也大同小异。基本上一个时间里的焦点作品每个BLOG都不会漏掉。

Methodology

The ranking of the MoPo 2008 has been calculated with the objective data that is publically available on blogs. The formula works like this:

MoPo 2008 = (Google Reader + Bloglines) + (Google + Google Images) + (Technorati Rank)

The MoPo 2008 then is a combination of the number of feed-subscribers, the transparency to search-engines and resonance in the community. Three different parameters that, I think, combined give a very well impression of the popularity of a blog.

The chart could have been calculated more precisely if all blogs would make their visitor-count available. That is however not the case. As there are also different counting-systems, it is not all that easy to set that up either. I am however thinking of putting up an interview next year. I am not yet sure all bloggers would be happy to share that figures though. I am also not sure whether it would provide us with a better image of popularity, as it for instance excludes resonance like Technorati measures it.

Selection

The selection of blogs for the MoPo 2008 is defined by four rules:
- It’s a blog
- It’s about architecture
- It’s written in English
- It’s the work of a single writer

I feel the incorporation of Spanish and German blogs in last year’s chart distorted the image, so I decided to leave them out this year. Sorry guys, maybe we should set up separate charts for each language, as I do think most people read blogs in just one language.

‘Timely’, one of the editors from Volume called the MoPo 2007 a couple months ago, as I talked to her about the blogosphere. Despite its many flaws and the fact that I needed two editions to get it to an acceptable level, the MoPo 2007 was indeed a map to the blogs on architecture.

Like a TomTom that directs you with a detour to your destination, I only later found out that I had missed some great blogs in the chart. So I was keen to improve the selection of this year’s edition. I have put some real effort into it, and I do believe the selection has improved massively. Still, if you’re blogger and you think you should have been acknowledged, please send me an e-mail and I will look into it.

If included, Eikongraphia would rank between the sixth and seventh place. As Eikongraphia has tremendously grown in the past year, that can only mean all other blogs have grown similarly too. BLDGBLOG for instance grew from a million to a total of more than three million visitors. The whole market seems to have tripled. The Chinese economy grows slow, compared to the blogosphere.
