* I work for Technorati, but this list is my own work and its a joke. I’m really looking forward to seeing what comes of the efforts Jason has kicked off.

Funny… however, only two or three of our blogs would ever make it into the top 100 even if you did it based on the last 30 days or year (i.e. engadget, autoblog, etc).
We’re the long tail… so our stuff would be down in the hundreds if not thousands and that’s OK.
I just think the Technorati 100 is so out of date and so–well–wrong… that we need alternatives. When there is a Feedster 500, IceRocket 500, PubSub 500 and Yahoo Blog 500 the industry will grow even faster.
That is what this is all about for me… getting more attention to the blogs out there… more attention to citizen’s media. Nothing personal against the big T, but we need more players bringing more advanced products to the market.
