However, I'm a bit confused by the definition of influence you provide: "the more people who link to a site or blog, the more influence it has on others". Wouldn't it be fairer to talk about popularity instead of influence? For instance, according to the graph above, Yahoo News would be about twice as influential as Fox News wouldn't it? In fact, people link to Yahoo News as a factual, popular source of information. I doubt we can call Yahoo News "influential" however, in the way Fox News or Daily Kos can be for instance. Dear Dave,
