		<description><![CDATA[Sure. It has to do with Dave Pattern&#039;s &quot;HotStuff 2.0&quot; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.daveyp.com/hotstuff/blogs/hotornot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Hot or Not&quot;&lt;/a&gt; list.

I&#039;d noticed that some blogs are extremely volatile, my own included. Just for fun, I&#039;ve been tracking it (but only once a day, and it seems to change more often than that). Since it&#039;s based on how words in a blog&#039;s most recent three posts compare to distinctive words being used a lot across liblogs in general...well, I wondered how easily it could be gamed. The words in that postscript seem likely to be used a lot. Or not.

All I know right now is that this morning I was at #506 (freezing) (after being #40 yesterday when I checked it)...and just now, I&#039;m at #11 (hot). Of course, by the time I actually record it tomorrow noonish, I might be back to #500... Just a bit of fun.]]></description>
