Economy & Policy

A highly dubious top 10 list

By wpcomimportuser1 | July 25, 2008 | +

But that’s not gonna stop me from posting it. From Brad DeLong:

Here’s what NetNewsWire throws up as tops in attention in the “economics” category:

* Mark Thoma’s Economist’s View http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/
* Alex Tabarrok and Tyler Cowen’s Marginal Revolution http://www.marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/
* Justin Fox’s Curious Capitalist http://time-blog.com/curious_capitalist/
* Barry Ritholtz’s The Big Picture http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/
* James Hamilton’s and Menzie Chinn’s Econbrowser http://www.econbrowser.com/
* Angry Bear http://angrybear.blogspot.com/
* WSJ Real Time Economics http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/
* Paul Krugman http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/
* Felix Salmon’s Market Movers http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/market-movers/
* Paul Kedrosky’s Infectious Greed http://paul.kedrosky.com/

When it comes to Technorati ranking, comment traffic, etc., the Curious Capitalist isn’t remotely in the same league as most of the other blogs on the list. So I don’t really get this. But I’ll take it. And I guess it means I need to finally make the switch to using NetNewsWire as my RSS reader. Because it’s so, you know, discerning.

Update: Okay, so I’ve been reading up on this NetNewsWire “attention” ranking, and if I understand correctly it’s personalized to the user. Which makes this is a list of the 10 econoblogs that Brad DeLong has paid the most attention to lately. And I’m thrilled to be on it. Update 2: And so is Barbara. Sorry for claiming the entire blog to myself.

    Apple CEO Cook Gives Up $75M in Stock Dividends

    NEW YORK — Apple CEO Tim Cook is giving up $75 million in dividends on restricted stock that the company is awarding to all of its employees.

    In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, Apple Inc. said that Cook requested that his restricted stock units not receive dividends. The dividends that Apple workers are getting amount to $2.65 per quarter for each restricted stock unit held. The shares are not normally eligible to receive dividends, so Apple’s decision is a perk for its employees.

    I have all but Angry Bear in my feeds … not sure why I exclude that one … maybe to avoid the self-identity of an angry bear.

  • odograph

    BTW, he should include Barbara

  • Barbara Kiviat

    Thanks, odograph. But, really, I’m just the tagalong. The self-identity I’m looking to avoid is one of daily responsibility.

    Thanks Justin & Barbara for your useful information.

    You’re number one on my list.
