Renie Ravin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:29:29 +0000

BinaryDay, one of the most active bloggers on the IndiBlogger Forum, has compiled some interesting stats using the blogs from IndiBlogger.in.

Here are the rankings based on Google PageRank:

Total Blogs studied : 6020
Maximum Pagerank : 6
Minimum Pagerank : 0

Pagerank	# of blogs	% of total blogs
PR 0	2749	46%
PR 1	731	12%
PR 2	1069	18%
PR 3	941	16%
PR 4	428	7%
PR 5	94	2%
PR 6	8	0%

428 blogs with PR4 - now that’s a pleasant surprise! Although blogger still seems to be the preferred choice over wordpress, with 3976 on blogger and only 741 on wordpress.

Read the complete report here, where you can see the list of PR 8 blogs and other interesting information.

Binardyday has compiled rankings based on Alexa here. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of either PR or Alexa, so I can’t wait for him to complete his analysis which is going to include backlinks, technorati rank, number of social bookmarks and feedburner subscribers.

Where are the celeb gossip bloggers?

An excerpt from the Washington post:

“Celebrity photographers make hundreds of thousands of dollars selling exclusive images to magazines and Web sites each year.”

Why haven’t I heard of any bloggers in India who do this? Considering the frenzy sorrounding everything our superstars do, I think this is a niche just waiting to be taken up by a blogger. I’ve seen many lousy attempts (and some obscence ones), but no professional efforts like PerezHilton, Gawker and The Superficial.

I’ve cross posted this at the forum.

Mumbai terror attack: Bollywood fearing loss of revenue?

Renie Ravin — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 16:22:23 +0000

I know… WTF? I was just reading this, and quite frankly it’s disturbing that there are actually people talking about, and reporting stuff like losses of revenue to freakin’ bollywood, even while the hostage crisis is still going on!!

“Definitely, the attack will affect and it will last for a month. The loss of 20-25 per cent is expected this time, as the impact of blasts is huge. Last time after the Delhi serial blasts, we saw that audiences preferred to stay home despite big releases,” says Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Fun Cinemas.”

Mumbai bloggers, on the other hand have come together and shouted out on their blogs about this latest terror attack. Have a look here:

Google makes typos too!

“Post failed: Too may posts on this channel in last 24 hrs”

Saw this typo while I was trying out Google’s new SMS Channels service. Looks like they may have openings in their QC department.
