Like Star Trek and Marmite, the world is divided into two sections: those who love EVE Online unconditionally and those who just don't get it. While I confess I'm definitely in the latter (insert clichéd and overused learning curve reference here), most of Team Massively seem to adore the game - specifically the mining and making-money-to-buy-bigger-ships part.
Such is the way of 2009 that it is possible to gauge the popularity of a game just by seeing how many people blog or tweet about a game. Indeed blogger CrazyKinux has started listing them, and according to his calculations, there are currently 235 EVE blogs with the number growing every day. If you want to take a look at the full, regularly-updated blogroll, you can check it out here.

As much as I love Crazy Kinux....The large majority of these blogs are either inactive, infrequently updated, or completely dead.
Anybody can make a blog, it takes something quite different to actually be a frequent blogger.

Woooooooo...
I mean, whatever. Blogger has about ten million blogs. Is that news?
No offense intended, but does anyone want to hear anything Eve players have to say?

While I agree with the idea that this might not exactly be "news" worthy. Especially since it's simply a list of blogs and blog titles, a digest of some sort would be much more useful.
And since you didn't mean any offense by your question of who wants to hear anything Eve players have to say, it must be a legitimate question. I slaved away for hours upon hours trying to deduce an answer. I googled, askjeeves'ed, yahoo answered, I even askreddit'ed. All of them were no use to me. So, I downed some met with the local medicine man and he gave me some peyote and took me on a guided spirit journey. During this spirit journey, a coyote told me the answer. Eve players want to know what eve players have to say. You can mail me my check for figuring that out for you.

235? Why 235? I mean if it hit 200 it's news but what's the significance of 235?
