There are hundreds of millions of blogs according to Technorati, and that’s just blogs! It is great to comment and be visible in the community of thinkers and doers in your sector. There will even be instances where you can provide information or resources from your organization that may be relevant to the conversation.

For the WeAreMedia tactical module on Listening we need a few nuggets, anecdotes, or stories in a few sentences about how your nonprofit has used a listening tool (technorati, google alerts, or RSS readers, or summize/tweetscan to listen). So, if you have a listening story you'd like to share - drop in the comments or over at the wiki here.

If it's a blog, what's their technorati ranking? I look at number of retweets, comments, etc. How many followers, friends, subscribers do they have? How many people are they really talking to? 3 - frequency. Is this a standalone argument / complaint or does there seem to be a trend brewing?

It is challenging for a government agency to determine how to allow public commenting on blog posts; on the plus side, it allows for public engagement. The blog does not (yet?)

He is suggesting two metrics for museums (which are also recommended by the others talking about this topic in other disciplines): In our paper Jim and I avoided site traffic and instead proposed that two better measures of success for museum blogs were citations/linkbacks and user comments.
