Comments on: About me http://mvuijlst.wordpress.com In which Michel Vuijlsteke writes in English. And occasionally in French.

I would like to expand Scoble's experiment with the weblogs.com xml-file analysis (I found your address on scobleizer). For this purpose I downloaded one week worth of data from weblogs.com. However, I realize that the files are pretty big (10-18 MB) and I have no idea how to process them. Excel is obviously not a good choice and I am not a programmer. I just want to sort the files (which are too big for Excel) and then count updated weblogs of the major blog providers only. How do you do this? I hope you can help me. Best wishes, Oliver.
