Carnival Buzz

Ken Adams of Carnival of the New Jersey Bloggers has analyzed postings to that carnival. Besides the power law distribution mentioned in the excerpt below, Adams looks at some other, dare we say, link trivia. For instance, most contributors to the Carnival of New Jersey Bloggers blog on Blogger. Sometimes statistics makes the obvious painfully obvious.

A lot has happened in the last six months, so I decided to take a look at all of the previous carnivals. What I found in the link data was pretty interesting. I had expected there to be a core group of pretty regular contributors, and a few not-so-regulars, but that turned out to be wrong. Our little network already follows a power law, just like the blogosphere at large! There are a few folks with a large number of posts, and a very large number (82) with only a single link in the mix.

In case you're wondering about Adams' statistical methodology, he explains it all here.
