Biblioblog Top 50 to Recommence … With a Twist
Posted by NT Wrong on December 19, 2010
Prompted by recent vitriolic debate among bibliobloggers, the Biblioblog Top 50 will recommence from the month of December 2010.
However, the new measure of the Top 50 will not be anything so subjective as “rankings” calculated by some shady hit-counting site yet to be exposed by Wikileaks. Instead, our new measure of the Top 50 Biblioblogs will according to our Jouissance-Meter.
The Biblioblog Jouissance-Meter will rank the Top 50 Biblioblogs each month according to the following objective standards: cutting-edge research, side-splitting humor, a high ratio of stimulating : boring-as-shit posts, well-aimed profanity/swearing, shit-stirring radicalism, startling innovation, timely scoops, risk-taking, and overall sexiness.
Moreover, biblioblogs must at least meet a minimum standard, as measured by these criteria, to even get a listing in the Top 50. If we can’t find 50 biblioblogs with sufficient jouissance, the monthly Top 50 just won’t have 50 blogs.
Look out for the next Biblioblog Top 50 on January 1!

oh Peter that’s trite. Perhaps that is actually what all bloggers are all about Peter. Just craving attention… after all how many ‘biblio’bloggers represent the best in biblical and historical scholarship really?
