Trend-tracking site BlogPulse has announced its list of the top blogs and various categories
in the "blogosphere" of 2005.
Harry Potter was #1 on their list of most-mentioned "people" and, along with Donnie Darko at #17, was the only other winner in the top 20 who wasn't a real person. Rounding out the top five were President Bush, Pope John Paul II, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson.
The act of blogging exploded this year as services made it easier for anyone to write just about anything and post it online with a click. Technorati estimated in August that new blogs were being created at a rate of 80,000 per day (or one per second).

Well, he's certainly in good company. Celebrities, the president, and the late pope. I'd say Harry fits right in. :p

Awesome Harry Potter! I can't believe he beat President Bush! It makes sense though because there was a huge book and a huge movie this year which was the first in HP history (having a movie and book out in the same year). Hopefully, it will be the same next year.

*collapses in gales of laughter* Oh my goshness, really? What does this make Harry? President of the World?
Meantime, allow me to gag myself for a few minutes while I consider that Brittany Spears was a topic considered that worthy by that many bloggers.

Why is anyone suprised. When did President Bush star in a movie. Has he ever writen a book.
Politics is boring. We can't see all that goes on. HP is more fun and we know most of the plot. :)
Happy New Years

Isnt't it obvious that Harry Potter will have more blogs than president Bush. He has so many fans world-wide. And one blog created per second. That's just amazing!
