Blogs Influence on Politics

Blogpulse comments on a recent study of the influence of blogs in politics. The findings are interesting, but it looks more like an observation of how poli-blogs digest politics than how they actually influenced them. Still, the study is worth a quick read. Here is a snippet:

• Conservative blogs also linked to more numbers of blogs (15.1 average) than did liberal blogs (13.6 average). In the single-day snapshot analysis, the most linked to liberal blog had more links (Daily Kos at 338) than the most linked to conservative blog (Instapundit at 277), although Glance and Adamic found that "the distribution of inlinks is highly uneven, with a few blogs of either persuasion having over a hundred incoming links, while hundreds of blogs have just one or two."
