Tob blogs in SA - Aug
Here are all the SA bloggers who make it into the Technorati Top 100 000 rank. There are a couple of new additions from my last posting on this, and some rank changes too. But nothing to dramatic.
But here is something worth noting: I thought that as the year progressed, we would get more bloggers into the top 100,000. In fact, the opposite is happening: our top bloggers are losing global rank while seemingly gaining national rank. The reason? I would guess that the number of new blogs globally is diluting our contribution Not sure if that is even relevant to bloggers who are targetting the local (South African) audience, but worth noting nevertheless.
Here goes: Blog title, rank and authority in brackets (and as before, if you should be on this list but aren’t, send me a note!)

Her dogma was suddenly controlling me between us, joining me, bobbling to unload me inside her. She turned her dhire and looked away.
