Week 8 of DIGC101

More on blogging this week and we coupled up to find some of the popular bloggers out there in the blogosphere. Technorati is probably your best friend in such a case, as you try to learn about the authority attribute that Technorati gives to measure blogs. I still haven't quite figured it out but i'm sure an exploration on Wikipedia would turn for some results. But as Chris and David seem to point out its not so much how many people read a blog as how many people link each other in a sort of virtual mafia of its chosen topic. I'm not big on American political election blogs so I didn't know too much but if we were to do something like Hip Hop music, I could easily tell you which ones (and when I briefly looked over them, most didn't have blogrolls).

On to more interesting things; I watched my first episode of South Park in a while and it was awesome. It was an episode which opened with Mr. Garrison talking about how kids get high, and explain a way where kids take cat piss. Lol funny stuff, Trey and Matt pick it up and sensationalise it by getting FOX news to blow it out of proportion so that police confiscate all cats in people's homes. Haha, Kenny's delusions were hilarious (and a tribute to a movie Heavy Metal, which I hope I will watch some day in the future).

To finish things off, here's a clip of Kanye West performing a new song Love Lockdown at the VMAs.
