I found your blog from that list, and laughed so hard when I read your byline. Congrats on your nomination! I think it’s a very interesting point…

Maybe they should have separate categories for "single-author" and "multi-author" blogs. Anyway, it's not that I'm so interested in telling them how to do their business, as I am struck by what their business says about patients in the blogosphere. Thanks, Ileana.

The fact is that none of us read all blogs for the whole year so we can't objectively vote on one or another. We all have our favorites that we voted for. I find it reasonable that a patient blog would get more votes because there are more patients than doctors. One of the winners has about 20 authors... Only by voting on their own they would outrun us. Good for them that they have such a large audience. I was amused by the fact that John Halamka - Geekdoctor that is running HITTS and is the CIO of a hospital is way behing the AppleQuack that offers advice on being more efficient on a Mac... Some blogs are just more popular than others, and the audience is probably different. The nominations were very open: I just went in and posted a comment. As far as I am concerned, I went from 30 subscribers to 45 since I was nominated, so I consider this a big success. As far as your blog is concerned, I find it really interesting and worth reading. It offers a different view, and I feel that I have a better picture of the whole after reading about your point of view. It’s just another way to gain audience and to find other interesting blogs.
