I recently glanced over the Technorati Top 100 blogs to see if I can observe any trends. Here are some of my musings -
- A sports blog didn't show up until number 76 (AOL Fanhouse). I subscribe to several sports blogs and find sports to be a natural blogging topic. I would have thought that there would be more sports blogs on the list.
- Only two of my subscriptions showed up on the top 100. The Freakonomics Blog at 61 and Stereogum at 80.
- It looks as if Technorati determines popularity based on number of unique links to blogs and by the number of people who have marked a blog as a favorite. What about subscriptions? Wouldn't a good way of determining popularity be to determine how many people subscribe to the blog? Maybe since there is such a wide variety of blog feed readers there is no way to determine the number of subscribers. Surely there is a way from the blog itself to chronicle subscriptions. Maybe I should seek my answers in one of the many tech blogs out there that are so popular.
- The blogs on the list that tempted me to subscribe were PostSecret and 43 Folders.
