"PubSub Community Lists
Many colleagues ask what I do at PubSub and most of the time I can't answer, because most of the work I do has to stay private until it's...well...public. Today is one of my favorite and most stressful days, because we're releasing a new service.
Introducing Community Lists, human collected lists of blogs with PubSub's linkranking system used to rank them. The concept is actually a simple one. We've recieved calls and e-mails from all over asking about blogosphere influencers in many fields of study and profession and didn't have a decent place to point them to. So, being the forward thinking company that we try to be, we created that place. The lists change daily and shows a view of the blogosphere that you haven't seen before: A daily ranking of 'influencers' for the previous day (linkranks runs once a day) for specific community. You will also be able to see the highest gainers for that day.
We've enlisted editors for two of the 4 lists that are currently live on the site. The third list (librarians) is edited by me, and the fashion list needs an editor (so, if you know of any fashion bloggers who might be interested, send them a note to contact me). These editors know their blog field very well, and will be able to keep up with the lists (adding and deleting as needed) better than anyone at the PubSub office could. Also, since the lists are community oriented, we looked outside of the company for editors.
Take a look around and let us know what you think (send e-mail to feedback@pubsub.com) or contact us if you have any ideas for more lists. For now, I'd like to introduce the four inaugural lists..."
