The Largest Blog Network Around
Written by Scrivs on October 11, 2005
Well at least according to this comprehensive list put together by the fine folks over at Bloggers Blog. Of course this is ignoring the About.com sites which are powered by MovableType, but we think this is kind of cool nonetheless.
What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. Quantity is an easy thing to achieve with regards to blogs since there are millions and millions out there, however if you can’t maintain the quality then your network serves no purpose. We like to think that we have continued to bring you the type of quality that will continuously entice you to come back for more. Please let us know otherwise.
Also interesting to note is that the Fine Fools Network is quickly moving up the charts with regards to blog network size. Is it possible to run two of the top five largest blog networks at once and still remain successful? Of course it is, otherwise we wouldn’t bother trying. However, we don’t want the two largest, we want the two best networks around. Gawker will never be the biggest, but it will more than likely always remain one of the best due to the quality they provide.

Just out of curiosity, how did one come up with the name “Fine Fools”?

Erm, Fine Fools doesn’t seem to be in the top five in terms of network size, unless I’m reading that list wrong, or are you referring to another network as your second?
Quantity means sod all anyway – I could easily run five or ten blogs myself, link them together and get on that list without producing anything useful. As it happens I have four at the moment and another two or three on the way, but they’re not really linked.

Bryan: Just wanted something that rhymed with 9rules and that came into my head.
Ah, what I meant to say was is it possible to run 2 of the top 5 blogging networks at the same time in a couple of months. Sorry for the confusion Paul.
And I do agree that quantity means jack shit, that’s why I placed emphasis on quality in the entry.

Quantity wise, there is a very large one here in Asia : http://www.ricebowljournals.com.
Quality wise, pretty subjective, and the larger the size, I think its harder to maintain consistent quality. But some of them looks quite good in quality to me.
