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).

Anything is better than politicians, but I don't get the Michael Jackson thing. I'm glad it was HP, at least that brings some joy to people.

WoW that is pretty neat, but it doesn't suprise me. Harry Potter is a well-known fictional character around the world and I bet kids as small as 3 know who he is.

Wow. What an honor (just kidding). It's kind of an odd statistic. But I guess it just shows how much we all want to talk about and get involved with these stories.
