Top 10 blog product popularity according to del.icio.us

Wednesday, July 19. 2006
Last november, I made a list of blog product popularity according to del.icio.us users. Because it is a popular entry page for this blog and since we are almost 8 months further, I thought I'd update the list. Between brackets you can see the relative increase.



As you can see, there is not much difference since the last count. pMachine and Blosxom have switched positions. Drupal is still considered a CMS, but making inroads in blog tag count.

As for the accuracy of this method ... it's better than nothing :-)

BackupMyBlog

As they call it: "Automatic remote daily backup of your entire blog database". You need to install a script that dumps your database to their backup facilities. Free, during beta testing.

Blog product popularity according to del.icio.us

Saturday, November 26. 2005
I was wondering how popular Serendipity is compared to other weblog products. I first looked at the big list in Google Directory. This gives s9y a 10th place.

I wasn't convinced by the importance of this list, so I started out bookmarking the ones with the highest pageranks in del.icio.us. From my del.icio.us page I made the following table, sorted by occurence count:

product
name		del.icio.us
count		tag
'blog'
count		tag
'cms'
count
WordPress2071852345
Drupal1095132616
Blogger10654280
Textpattern507123249
Movable Type36914567
Blosxom28912930
b2evolution23310233
Serendipity22810151
pMachine1904990
Pivot1484745
Roller1015012
Geeklog1093537
BBlog84369
Radio UserLand60184
PHP-Nuke5922
Slashcode51617
CommunityServer43150
City Desk28017
Das Blog23120


In this list, s9y has an 8th place by occurence count. When you take the tag count for 'blog' and 'cms' into account, you could argue that e.g. Drupal is more CMS software than blog software. Serendipity then gets an almost shared 5th place.
Not bad, coming from 10th place in Google Directory :-)

On a side note: There are quite a lot of web CMS and blog products in an identity crises ('What are we? Blog or CMS?'). Using folksonomy and the del.icio.us userbase, a conclusion can be made.
The occurence count is of course determined by the number of del.icio.us users. For this topic that's okay, because they usually are into blogging and the likes. For other topics I'm not yet sure of the real value.

I've added CommunityServer, CityDesk and Das Blog after reading Chris Garret's "Blog Software Reviews at a Glance". Drop me a line in case I've missed more.

Professional Blog Software Reviews

Friday, November 18. 2005
Chris Garret writes interesting in-depth reviews of weblog software: "Over this series I will look at the various blogging systems available on the market. While there are no doubt any number of blog software reviews you could read, my focus will be on blogging software that will enable you to blog professionally and not just for fun."

Unfortunately, Serendipity (my blog software of choice) is not mentioned. Or is that because I blog for fun? :-)
