The second Rest of the Mac Web (RotMW) survey, an opinion poll covering a good segment of the independent Mac Web, is done. Voting took place over a two week period, and nearly 1,200 individuals shared their opinion of 50 of the best known independent Mac-related sites on the Web - including one of the newest.
Begun with the second BotMW survey we crated a weighted rating that looks at both how well known a site is and how well respected it is. The score is generated by multiplying the square root of the number of responses by the score.
These are the raw numbers. Feel free to thrown them into your favorite spreadsheet and do your own analysis.
