New Linkfluence Research Illuminates Influence of Women’s Issues and Feminists on the Political Web
by Feminism2.0
We’re very excited to tell everyone that our friends at Linkfluence will be presenting at Fem2.0 new research about how feminist blogs/women’s issues fit in the US political Web.
Some preliminary conclusions are:
1) The feminist blogosphere is a dense, well-structured, and tight-knit network.
2) The feminist blogosphere is tightly enmeshed in the progressive blogosphere, and totally disconnected from the conservative blogosphere (not a surprise we know, but interesting to see visually).
3) The discussion on “women’s issues” is taking place primarily on A-List progressive blogs (around predominently MALE bloggers?).
Linkfluence will also unveil the top 30 blogs/websites on the issues of reproductive rights, economic equality and domestic violence, and also the top 30 feminist blogs.
I’ve seen the data and the interactive piece and it’s really interesting stuff. I look forward to seeing it at the conference — I’m hoping it spurs some great conversation.
So I’m curious what the qualifications are for a “feminist blog”. I write for several publications about topics that are feminist, for example, like MOMocrats, but that’s not our focus necessarily. I assume they will tell us the criteria they used for their definition of such? Looking forward to the presentation. Linkfluence was great at the Personal Democracy Forum last year.
And by popular demand, here’s the top 30 ranking of feminist blogs: http://tinyurl.com/bdaw2x
