Interesting tidbit -
A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of the top-5 rated WebX.0 posts. I just noticed that that post itself has since been rated at an average of 4.67, making it the #1 most favorite post on this blog! (The post titled "What business are you in?" was previously #1 but has recently slid to 2nd place with an average rating of 4.08).
I'd never expect that top-5 post to be rated so high... I guess the rumors on top-X lists being an audience favorite (aka Diggbait) were true...
This is particularly interesting because by measuring and observing the metadata on you site, you are changing that metadata. You cannot publicly observe this data without affecting the outcome. It's like Heisenburg for Web 2.0.

Yes - I'm afraid you're right...
Well, now that scientific accuracy on this blog has gone down the toilet - Can you please please please give this post a 5-star rating?........ ;-)
