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).

No one can say anything bad about Harry Potter or Pope John Paul II. It's nice to have a figure that everyone is talking about and no one is really speaking bad about.

Well, it's so much nicer to talk about Harry Potter than Bush in blogs anyway. I prefer reading about Harry than Bush anytime. But blogs are an equally amazing phenomenon as Harry Potter is. "80.000 created per day"? WOW.

"Here's wishing we could have Harry Potter for President! Oooh or better yet, Hermione!
The fact that Harry is more popular than George, should come as no large surprise on several levels. Harry is nicer, more intelligent and an all round better human. The Potterverse, even with Voldemort, is a much preferable place to be currently than the muddle we've made of the real world. "
You are ABSOLUTLEY BRILLIANT!
I love it when
a. harry potter's number 1 or in the top 10
b. Harry beats bush
I think this complies to all of those catoglories.
