Name That Blogger Episode 1: The Phantom Blogger

Update: Yes, many of you have answered and got it right. It was too easy  I guess :)  For thos eof you still playing, I won't name it here - check the comments to find out.

Tonight I'd like to introduce you to a little quiz. I was IM'ing with a certain person tonight and it was mentioned how this person subscribed directly to my blog. Not just CodeBetter - me! Me me me!

I felt so special. I almost felt moist.

This led to me being sent proof, just to make me moister, I suspect. This was fine and dandy, and led me to an interesting thought.

Just how well do you know your fellow bloggers? Are there some that you think you could identify just by having a look at their reading material? Well, let's just see if you can, hey?

Below is a screenshot of the blogs subscribed to in this person's rss reader. Tell me, who is it?

Some of you might think this is dead easy. Some might need to think a little bit. Some might glean enough information to do some research and figure it out. This person is a blogger. I'm not even going to tell you what host they blog on (it might be CodeBetter, it might be weblogs.asp.net, it might be somewhere else entirely.

Do you have what it takes to figure it out? Presuming that someone does, and presuming i'm not told to stop it, then I might even consider doing more. If you ask me nicely :)

It's gotta be Darren Neimkie.

The OneIsABlog stuff gives it away, as well as the readify category grouping.

That raises an interesting point. I might have to discuss that in a further post - what does it tell you if someone is subsribed to their own blog?

Interesting....

I'll confirm or deny your answers in the morning (for those of you playing at home, it's almost midnight here at the moment) to give anyone else who thinks they are smarter a chance to chime in with a gem.

I subscribe to my own blog. Incase something happens with the site or the data, I have all my content on my local HDD. And I don't have a clue whos' blogroll that is.

Yup, same to check that I haven't broken my own feed (which in the past I have).

This is funny, I can't see the image tho. Slightly on topic, just yesterday I was thinking that it'd be funny to do some blog parodies. This is better!
