The Newman Formula (Explained)
Ladies and Gentlemen, here it is …. “The Newman Formula”.
Forget about all this nonsense like “Rating by Technorati Links” (factored by age, bra size or whatever), “Traffic by Alexa”, “LR Index” or “SBA” (Swiss Blogger Analysis).
The one and only “Formula” to precisely determine the importance and influence of a “Russia Blog” has been published yesterday. On April 6th, 2007 the secret was revealed and published. Like the surprise launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, which shocked the United States of America, the presentation of the “Newman Formula” changes the scientific world forever.
Mr. Newman, Tim Newman that is, runs the superb blog “White Sun of the Desert” and, literally over night, became as important as Albert Einstein, the father of “E=mc²” .
The “Newman Formula” is as brilliant as simple ….
“Multiply the number of visitors by the blog owner’s distance Eastwards from Moscow, divided by number of McDonalds in a 500 mile radius.”
Scientifically the “Newman Formula” reads:
X(viob) x D(E>M) / X(McD;r<=500) = BRBaNF
(*): X(viob) = Number of visitors (of the blog) / D(E>M) = Distance between Moscow and the blog owner’s residence (the more to the East of Moscow the bigger the factor D) / X(McD;r<=500) = Number of McDonalds in a radius smaller than or equal to 500 miles / BRBaNF = Best Russia Blog according the Newman Formula.
Mr. Tim Newman is herby awarded the “German Liederhosen Award of Germano-Russo-Blogoshphere” (GLAGRB) and may from now on bare the full name and title:
Mr. Tim Newman, BRBaNF - GLAGRB. (with or without brackets, as desired)
Now that sounds definitely more impressive than IFPAE - MC - PD, doesn’t it ?
