Blog aggregators

February 17, 2012

The Portfolio Probe blog is caught by two blog aggregators.

Finance

MoneyScience has an aggregation of financial blogs.  It now catches over 50 blogs.

R

R Bloggers captures the Portfolio Probe posts that are in the R Language category.  It gets posts from over 300 blogs that talk about R.

Figure 1 shows a plot of the increase in the number of R bloggers over time.  This is from Graph of the Week in the post “R-Bloggers Steadily Growing”.  I’m biased of course, but I think this plot would have been better if it had used the pp.timeplot R function to make the times more visible.
