nz blogosphere rankings : February 2009 summary

The February 2009 nz blogosphere rankings list is complete now. There have been a dozen casualties this survey - more fallout from the election activity - with less new blogs coming to attention. Things seem to be settling down now and traffic looks to be solid. Posting frequency was up on the major blogs, but comments may have been down slightly.

There are a total of 207 blogs on the list (down 5). Changes from last month (January) in brackets.
