Bloggers respond to ABA Journal Blawg 100

My recent post regarding the ABA Journal Blawg 100 was admittedly not the first log in the fire.  Two fellow bloggers and people I respect a great deal recently posted their respective takes on the new blog ranking game.  Kevin O'Keefe at Real Lawyer's Have Blogs authored a post titled, "Law Blog vanity contest: ABA adds to the silliness" and Chuck Newton authored a post title, "My Blog Makes the Rosa Newton #1 Blog Ever!!!"  As always I get a kick out of Chuck's sense of humor.  I also agree with him that I must be really smart because I subscribe to and regularly read a good majority of the blogs listed in the Blawg 100.  My take on Kevin's post is a bit different and that is not because I disagree, but because his point is intended to be less humorous and more opinionated.  Quite honestly, I agree wholeheartedly with pretty much every Kevin says in his post and I see that a couple of other bloggers feel the same way.  It is always an honor to be included on lists or recognized for the things that you do.  It is kind of like being picked first for the game of kickball on the playground.  I just hope we can all reach a point where we realize that these sorts of rankings will come and go.  It would be pretty foolish to hang your hat on a Blawg 100 ranking if you fail to deliver solid content or if your readers go elsewhere.  Those blawgers may find themselves uttering words similar to Rick's famous line on Casablanca, "We'll always have the Blawg 100."
