"New pharma blogs popping up like zits"

John Mack has kindly picked up on what I wrote in an earlier post. He also added an illustration . . .

But that's not what I'm crowing about.

He ended his post writing the following:

"Of course, not all of these blogs are equally valuable. Some are not truly 100% focused on the pharmaceutical industry. Some are as common, minuscule, and dormant as asteroids, some are over-rated gaseous giants, and some are verdant planets rife with life!Pretty soon we're going to need a scorecard!For now, I suggest that readers refer to the "Topics" list on the right. The more often a blog is mentioned in posts here, the higher it appears on the Topics list and the more significant the blog is, at least in my eyes. Right now, that's the best scorecard there is."

And here is John Mack's list (of course you will have noooooooo problem understanding why I thought this was important to communicate):

I think you are right, it IS important. But fame really means nothing, as I suspect you know.

It doesn't matter, who says what first or who has the most popular, marketable, read, what ever blog. What is important is your mission. To bring to light the impact of PHARMA on "our" lives, and entertain us :)

You are clearly the most talked about health services blogger hands down. But that is because of your charisma, your great blog, and of course the pure trendy sexiness (you were rated also the sexiest one if I recall). This blogging, because of its quality, must take a lot of your time. Since I suspect it doesn't pay well, it is a charitable act. I thank YOU for your charity.

Peter, we may not always agree with you, but you are damn fun to track.

Peace.
