Yet Another Top 30 VoIP Blogs List

Interesting. After Garrett Smith's Top 30 VoIP Blogs list, Luca Filigheddu decided to come up with his own list based on Technorati listings, which rank a site according to the number of links from other sites. While VoIP Now is #13 on Luca's list, it was only #26 on Garrett's list. Garrett's reasoning for his list is based on importance of a site to the industry, amongst other factors. He rightly points out the older sites gain an advantage, and that some of the top sites discuss other topics than VoIP, which bring in additional links from other websites.

Though despite having more links from other VoIP (or otherwise) sites, there are other factors which determine ranking in Technorati, so instead of being #11, we're #13. Either way it's nice to rank in the top 20 and top 30 on two lists, and we we'll keep striving to move up to the top of each list. Food for thought: While Garrett's weblog, Smith On VoIP, supposedly has no links to it according to Technorati, his top 30 list no doubt garnered him at least a half-dozen new links, if not more.

VoIP Now On Smith On VoIP's Top 30 List

Smith on VoIP recently published a Top 30 VoIP Blogs list and VoIP Now made it into the last set of 10. Although I don't disagree with most of the Top 10 or 20, Smith seems to rate us "always worth a read" but not necessarily daily or even weekly. Oh well, it's still nice to get on the list, given how many VoIP blogs there really are. Thanks for including us. I see, though, that you're not on the list :)

I should take this opportunity to ask readers if there are certain topics that you would like to see covered here. It's tough to decide, because I suspect we actually have an extremely diverse readership, so our topics and approach isn't always focused. We don't cater to any one crowd, and expect people looking for reviews of soft VoIP clients as well as business managers wanting information that will help them to decide wether and how to migrate to an IP telephony system. As such, you'll often find summaries here, as well more in-depth pieces. Your comments are always welcome.
