Why blogger rankings are meaningless and irrelevant

Doc Searls (who is always referred to as an “A-lister,” and who is an A-list thinker in my book):

Bloggers are people, not institutions. We’re the publishing equivalent of single-celled animals. Being an alpha blogger is like being an alpha paramecium. And I don’t mean that as a knock on blogging. On the contrary, I think highly linky personal publishing amplifies the humanity of its authors. It puts in sharp relief our singular distinctions as human beings. Each of us is a #1 and Only.
