Commentary is keepin’ it real, according to this post by Neil Blakey-Milner.

In all seriousness, I agree with pretty much everything Neil has to say here. I spent a lot of time today playing around with Amatomu, and while it’s a fascinating and fun tool, I also couldn’t help but notice that a lot of the sites on its list stretch the definition of a “blog” to its most tenuous. It’s difficult to make this argument without coming across as a pompous elitist, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

On the subject of Amatomu: it also left me rather surprised at how apolitical the South African blogosphere is. The US blogosphere is far less weighted towards political blogs than it once was, but even so, three out of the the Technorati Top 10 are political. On the Amatomu Top 10, it’s zero. I wonder why?
