The list definitely sucks - the question is, how to improve the algorithm (if this is possible at all, without massive human interaction) to yield a better list.

The really dead entries (e.g. RedHanded) will fall out automatically (since technorati drops links older than 120 days) and I believe alexa ranking will also decrease for these.

As for the other entries… well, that’s a good question. I have been discussing with a lot of people from the Ruby community about this, and we came up with a few good ideas (I think - let’s see once they get implemented).

It’s also a question whether the Ruby/Rails blog scene sucks so much, or it’s juts the algorithm… what do you think?

I’m only presuming here, but it seems to me that many Rails bloggers lose interest quickly; as if there’s nothing more interesting to blog about. It could be because most Rails applications are simplistic in their nature, or because they’re just database front-ends.

I would love to see a blog about advanced Rubyism, or maybe something like perlmonks.org
