Okay, I’ll be a little more precise – I don’t do the introspection thing because of it. The reason I don’t get involved (don’t vote and don’t display the outcomes) is that they are merely popularity contests. There are no objective criteria used to differentiate between the good, the bad and the indifferent. Most of my blog reading sources don’t feature, yet are thoughtful, well written blogs. That is what I look for; good use of language, well constructed arguments and a thoughtful – hopefully thought provoking – discussion.

I might be more inclined to be involved if objective criteria were involved. After all, look at the “top two” British blogs. ’nuff said?
