Franklin G Mixon Jr. and Kamal P Upadhyaya’s article “Blogometrics,” in the Eastern Economic Journal, “gathers information on a wide array of economics bloggers and blogs in order to develop a ranking of economics bloggers that is based on citations to their academic research.” Table 1 list “Top economics bloggers by scholarly impact.” It’s an interesting list, with Becker, Posner, etc. at the top. It has a disproportionate number of Austrians, including Lawrence White (#21), Peter Klein (#28), Pete Boettke (#30), Chris Coyne (#48), Richard Ebeling (#50), Tom Woods (#58), Steve Horwitz (#83), and Dan D’Amico (#85), as well as other Austrians and fellow travelers. Alas, the list is obviously flawed, as they put me at #53, though I’m not an economic blogger. And Bob Murphy is none too pleased about this revolting development!

Come on, something is very off with the rank. Where is zerohedge and mish (borderline Austrian, btw)? Where is Steve Keen? What are they, living in a cave or something?
mish is not an economist, he just likes to read about economics.
@jon: I am perfectly aware of this. But neither Virginia Postrel is, right?
Looks like someone has picked up where the “coordination problemists” have left off and filled the void:
