• This year the review panel consisted of four of our in-house translators and linguists. As translators it was crucial to get their thoughts on the best blogs out there. You can read a bit about them at the end of the article.
• Before carrying out a sweep of the World Wide Web, the team decided upon the criteria against which they would assess the blogs available. The following outline the essential factors taken into consideration when the team analysed blogs:
1. Look > The look and feel of the blog, usability, navigation, etc..
2. Content > The team were looking for content that was a) relevant, b) useful, c) varied and d) interesting.
3. Frequency of posts > How often was the blog updated? If seldom, they wouldn’t be making it into any top 10!
4. Owner > Only blogs written by translators are included.
5. Language > Only blogs in English were considered.
6. SEO > Consideration was given to blogs that performed well in search engines and were easier to find.
• Following a lengthy search of blogs, assessing content and comparing them against each other, the Kwintessential review panel agreed on the following blogs as the top ten for 2011.
• We decided not to vote for a number 1, i.e. the best, but to give acclaim to all shortlisted.
