Blogging@Sun - what do you want to see?

Everyone likes stats, especially the Americans - no idea why, I dropped statistics after junior freshman year. Last night Jonathan moved up to second place on blogs.sun.com and our internal blogging alias went crazy with mails trying to figure out what statistics we should keep on the front page, and how often they should be updated. But before we go off on this ego hugging venture and wonder whether being controversial, handing out free stuff or simply regular blogging is directly proportional to the ratings, shouldn't we ask 'you' what you want to see? Do you read Sun blogs through blogs.sun.com, planetsun.org or an external RSS reader? What would you change in the home pages? Do you randomly look through blog titles that you find interesting? Do you find yourself coming back to the same people and same blogs? How did you find us? There are so many more interesting questions that we should be asking, rather than concerning ourselves with who's top on the table.

I've used rss from blogs.sun.com ... My problem was only 15 rows in that rss. Now I've find rss on planetsun.org - its much better.

I know, it's not going to be popular, but the way microsoft present the blogs on blogs.msdn.com is quite cool. I use a RSS Reader and I occasionaly trip over blogs while looking for other stuff, but i still pick up bits on the homepage of the microsoft blogs that i might have otherwise missed.
