congrats O&M

First, congrats to O&M, our evil twin, for a fantastic showing in a recently published ranking of economics blogs!  Here’s the full article, here’s the ranking by scholar, and here’s the ranking of economics blogs based on scholarly impact.  (Beyond the recognition that O&M gets — the article itself is sort of interesting as well.)

But, it doesn’t end there.  O&M’s Peter Klein wonders about how orgtheory would fare in the analysis and then in the comments calls for “the head-to-head twin-versus-twin battle we’ve all been dreaming about.”

As readers know, we’re more sociological and social — well, and nice — around here, but if we indeed did happen to agree to such a “battle,” it would have to be done properly.  Namely, the analysis would have to include everyone who contributes to a given blog (in our case, in a huge way), including guest bloggers.

Well, we’re happy for our younger, evil twin.  Nice to see them get some attention.
