Chart.dk - a Danish website keeping count of the most visited sites in various categories (*if you have listed your site with them) - now lists a weblog Top 25 as an independent category - under the heading "homepages". The most popular Danish weblog here apparently gets almost 100 hits a day.
This listing indicates an interesting development in the Danish weblog history, I think, pointing to the fact that they have definitely been acknowledged as a widespread and popular phenomena in Denmark (where hardly anyone to my knowledge was blogging a year ago), but also that they are still not recognised as something other than purely private. Where does that leave academic blogs like this one (which at least triesto go beyond the merely private "Who am I" statement)? What actually defines the common understanding of what a homepage is these days?
