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).

That is totally awsome. I just made a blog for myself on yahoo, it has HPANA hooked onto it and loads of HP stuff. That was so weird that this article came out. Its totally true for me.

That is pretty cool. It is pretty funny that Harry Potter landed #1 and Harry is not even a real person.

It's cool that Harry beat out the President. It doesn't really surprise me though. That's an interesting group of people all together.

Go Harry Potter! He rocks socks! And Bush, well... I don't think I need to say much about him to prove my point. Fred & George could do a better job than him any day!
