Hmmm... Fantasy Blogging. Pick a team of Edubloggers and compete! What would be the stats? Posts, Comments, Technorati Ranking. What else?

best wordle?
Hmm. That's tough. Can a post be a great post w/o a lot of comments or trackback? I think so.
Totally. Just like a football player can be a great team player without scoring a touchdown.
But for fantasy purposes, you've gotta track SOMETHING. So what categories could there be?
Posts, comments, links back to the blog... Stumped for what else... Bring in sites like Twitter maybe?
Followers gained, tweets/week, twitter replies?

How about something with Google Analytic data?

Most countries, most found in a search engine
Oh, crap. That's a horrible idea.
*laughing*
Can't use Google analytics, because the data would need to be accessible by the general public. Can't depend on the bloggers who are
being 'drafted' to be the ones to provide the data!
why does it have to be a contest?
They idea i'm thinking of is like Fantasy Football or Baseball, but using EduBloggers instead. By its very nature, it's a contest!
No, I get that. I'm just wondering *why*? What's the benefit?
Cause I think it'd be interesting and fun 
Nothing more than that.
Nothing more than that.
Okay. I'm still not clear on how the stats piece will play out, but I'm interested to see what you do with this.
But it won't be *useful*, Steve, so why?
LoL. Because we CAN. And I'm not sure what, if anything I'll do with it. Just another random thought that bounced through.
I CAN do lots of things. Doesn't make them useful. Certainly, if you believe the idea has merit, go for it. But, really?
