Matt Nisbet recently posted the following message under the title Framing Science Ranked Among Top 15 Science Blogs.
For the fourth straight month, Framing Science ranks among the top 15 science-related blogs, as tracked by Wikio. The position of a blog in the Wikio ranking depends on the number and weight of the incoming links from other blogs. (Blogrolls are not taken into account and Wikio only counts links from the last 120 days.)I submitted a comment in which I noted that several famous science blogs such as Bad Astronomy, The Panda's Thumb, and RichardDawkins.net are not included in the Wikio rankings.
Since this has been discussed many times on the blogs, it's safe to assume that Matt knows about it. I think he understands that his ranking among the top 15 blogs is not quite what it seems. So I asked in the comment whether he was deliberately trying to deceive his readers or was this an example of framing?
Unfortunately, my comment must have gone astray in the ether since it didn't survive moderation. Isn't that strange?
