Few outsiders understand the degree to which the Valley is driven by data. Even your guilty pleasures — like this gossip rag. After Google Reader introduced a feature which tracks users’ most-browsed RSS feeds, people have come up to me and confessed that — mathematically, statistically — Valleywag is their favorite blog. They’re loathe to admit it, but the data reveals it. That’s why I’m not going to do a year-end list of my favorite stories. Instead, here’s a list of Valleywag’s 20 most-read stories. You may pretend to be high-minded world-changers, but you’re really into Facebook, babes, datacenter meltdowns, Google, Kevin Rose, geeks behaving badly, fired Gamespot editor Jeff Gerstmann, and anything written by Nick Douglas. Here’s the list. (Click through to see how many pageviews each one got.)
