Thanks in part to kind links from Bigwig and Jay Solo, I've received lots of suggestions for the Blogs around the U.S.A. and Blogs around the World projects.
I haven't had time to look at all the suggested sites yet, but I expect to post a large update to the former and a small update to the latter this weekend. Thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions. As always, more are sought via comment or email.
In addition, Bigwig has an interesting Quantifying the Blogosphere post on average daily reading time for his and various other weblogs. As several readers pointed out in the comments, the Sitemeter statistic used is difficult to interpret.
Why do some of my visitors have visit lengths of 0:00?That means the visitors are only staying to view a single page and then leaving. The only way that Site Meter knows how long someone is on a site is by the times of each page view. If they only look at a single page and then leave, we don't know how long they looked at the page. If they looked at two pages and left we would know they at least were on the site during the time of the first page view and the second page view. The difference between those two times would be the length of the visit.
Nonetheless, it seems to me that if readers behave consistently across weblogs, the statistic is still interesting. For what it's worth, this site averages 3.15 hours of (measured) reader time per day.

I've got a pretty good set of links dealing with California bloggers who are blogging about the Davis recall business -- pro and con -- and I try to blog about politics in my own Contra Costa County (East SF Bay) at least once a week. So count me in.
