Dave is going to do the Scripting News Awards again. In the process, he fesses up about something that’s puzzled me: how I got in the running last year:

“It’s quite interesting to look at the lists a year later. For example, the scripting category has boomed. Last year it was hard to find any weblogs about scripting.”

Which explains both why I was one of the four and why I didn’t get that many votes. It was just a small pool.

Following in the well-trod footsteps of Blogdex and DayPop comes Popdex. Right now it’s not clear to me what it does that is different from the older sites; there is no “About” page to describe the methodology and many of the links in the list appear to be Slashdot stories. Something to keep an eye on. (Thanks to Jenny the Shifted Librarian for the pointer.)
