Somehow, this blog escaped Mr. Scalzi’s notice, but according to him – we exchanged email – I’m in some rather lofty company as William Gibson and Stephen Brust suffered the same fate.

According to Technorati, Vox Popoli would come in at #8 here, right behind the estimable Mr. Stross. A Top 10 SF/F blog… how dreadfully embarrassing for the SFWA!
It does seem bizarre that this blog would come in ahead of those belonging to much better-known, better-selling, and generally all-around better writers such as David Brin and George RR Martin, but then, mysterious are the ways of the Technorati.
