What several blogs wrote about today
Each bar is how many of the network’s blogs covered the story in the last 24 hours.
Put together today, 1:45 PM MDT, and again every half hour. How it’s chosen: posts breaking out on their own blog first, then the most-read post on each subject readers are reading more than usual (a ratio to its usual, never a count), one verified transfer bonus, then the stories the most blogs covered. How this works.
Covered this week.
Each bubble a story on this topic, as big as the number of blogs that wrote about it.
