The poll is closed, and with more than 600 votes, the winners, in order, are: New APPS, Philosophy Smoker, Philosophers Anonymous, Certain Doubts, and Feminist Philosophers, though with strong showings of support for many of the others in the pool. I wouldn't assign much credence, needless to say, to the ordinal ordering, since all of the top five enjoyed lots of #1 rankings from their fans. New Apps and Philosophers Anonymous are my own two favorites from the top five, though I do read all of them periodically (as well as Brooks Blog, Think Tonk, Philosophy Et Cetera, Ethical Werewolf, Experimental Philosophy, and a few others). Certain Doubts is to be commended for being the only one in the top five to be primarily a blog for substantive philosophical discussion, something that is hard to sustain in the blog forum. (New Apps does some of that too.) Unsurprisingly, blogs do better for discussing professional issues than for sustained philosophical argument and reflection.
Congratulations to all the proprietors of the 18 quite valuable and successful blogs that were part of this poll.
