Very soon we will announce who is in fact the best blogger in the world. We have been looking at all categories and sections and across all nations, in all languages and with input from hundreds of thousands of judges. This has not been easy, and we beg that you do not think we took our decision and our responsibility lightly.
From an initial long-list of around 54,000 websites we were able to run them through a brand new algorithm (which is patented and trademarked and copyrighted) which removed almost all of them based on the criteria which we outlined in our earlier archived posts. It’s not an easy task (in fact the computer which hosts this complex sequence has been working almost non-stop for the last 35 days).
After deleting half of the list we moved down to checking by hand some of the submissions which came in using automated software. We decided that if someone uses automation to apply for the award of Best Blogger in the World we should not just delete them automatically, as it is possible that in their job as a writer they are too busy to perform all correspondence by hand, however we don’t just want rubbish.
Finally we were left with a list of 2,000 of the world’s top bloggers. We then slowly checked every post they’ve ever written for signs of inaccuracy or mistakes.
Finally, we were left with one name.
