According to Jim West<\/a>, the blogger formerly known as NT Wrong has decided to stop doing the Biblioblog Top 50<\/a>. I don\u2019t blame him, given the way the sheer number of biblioblogs has increased in recent months. But I do hope that something more like the original NT Wrong blog will be that blogger\u2019s next project, as it was highly entertaining. As for those who enjoy rankings, perhaps we can start a new reality blog on which bibliobloggers dance with celebrities while other bloggers vote for their favorite.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Doug Chaplin has asked what the future may\/should hold for the Biblical Studies Carnival<\/a>, which has also grown to a size that is difficult to manage.<\/p>\n
