Top 500 Blog List a Planning Tool for Lack of Others

Feedster's new list of what it calls the 500 top blogs, largely based on the ambient prevalence of links to those sites across the web, spawned several prominent discussions as to how useful blog media may be for advertisers. The list itself was published in part because of encouragement by some bloggers unhappy with the methods used by Technorati to rank its top 100. And the subtleties of these differences underlay the core of the issue of why blog medi  [...]
