The blogosphere and its upper side

As we all know, there is a right side of the blogosphere. There is a left side of the blogosphere. Yesterday I asked: 'Is there an upper side of the blogosphere? And if not, should there be? '

This led me to think in three dimensions. A sphere, after all, is three dimensional. Someone, somewhere, decided that one of that size, let's call it the x-axis, is political, possibly cultural. What about the y axis? I would suggest, with the intent that someone might want to argue the opposite, that being defined as the thought of Jung than Feeling. However, in terms of blog topics may be more a matter of a spectrum from hard science fine arts.

What is the z-axis, then? I propose that it is of sophistication. In other words, blogs managed by those with declamations naive and populist than a compendium of articles that are very accurate, scholarly, multi-faceted. In other words, the blogosphere has an upper and a lower.

This suggests the possibility of blogology analytical. A blog could be placed in three concept of three-dimensional space. You could trace the flow of thoughts and ideas, as well as links and nodes, etc. After drawing a large random sample of blogs, you might start blogographic analysis. In other words, I doubt that the blogosphere is actually spherical and also do not think the blogodensity is uniform. Well, all that is, for the most part, a different subject.

This article covers the top, or the most sophisticated of the blogosphere. There is, though I suspect that the blogodensity is low. Sure Half Sigma, gene expression, etc., are very sophisticated. However, and this is the point, the right side and left side of the blogosphere are very organized. If you are on the right, you can go to Townhall.com. If you are on the left, or you can go to DailyKos.com Huffingtonpost.com. There you will find the best bloggers who agree with your view of the socio-political. If you turn on Fox News, you will see prontificating bloggers and right of proselytism, indicating extensive made to their blog. If you turn on MSNBC, you'll get the same, but the left side. Rush Limbaugh, Ed Schultz, Sean Hannity, et al, using all the bloggers to create audio content that directs the listener to the contents of the press. Moreover, Limbaugh, Schultz, Hannity et al have actually got into the business with their own blogging websites and content 24/7.

However, if you want to be an inhabitant of the upper side of the blogosphere, there are these places. Well, there scienceblogs.com, but which in reality is not for the y axis z, let's face it, have you heard? Perhaps, they have become more involved in advertising coop would be more significant. Or, as I'm sure will be the case when there is a sciencetv.com providing original programming to all fans of science around the world, the necessary synergies recursive begin to develop.

As we have for the left and right side of the blogosphere, there will be nodes nodes for the top of the blogosphere. In other words, we do not groped to isolate the liberal or conservative, theist or atheist, scientific or artistic. We isolate those who are sophisticated and knowledgeable than any point on the x or y axis. In other words, will be refined and erudite global community knows, not a cause or interest group. Of course, our long term goal is to provide audio and video, moving towards mobile and broadband radio and television. Then our pundits, bloggers and the instigators of that conversation can present their thoughts on how media - just like the left and right side of the blogosphere.

One of the purposes of this topic, beyond to put more meat on the bone Polymathica, is to start a discussion of loci of the upper part of the blogosphere. So if you know of any blogs at the top of the blogosphere, go to the facebook group and post them Polymathica. It may not be much at the moment, but at least there will be a step towards creating a node for the refined, erudite individual .......
