The Rupert Murdoch-owned Times Online has published its list of the 50 best business blogs and many of you have expressed outrage to me that his blog fails to appear on it.  Thanks for the support!  The reason you don't see this blog listed is because Murdoch had it removed from the list after the Independent Association of Publishers' Employees reached out to me about purchasing Dow Jones, currently the subject of a Murdoch takeover bid.  In a further fit of spite, Murdoch had this blog replaced with Mark Cuban's blog, Blog Maverick.  The "official" unofficial reason for the slight, however, is that The Times didn't want to be seen as copycatting its competitor Yes! Weekly, which had already honored this blog as "best blog."

Congrats, though, to my friend Equity Private of Going Private for the well-deserved honor.
