Techmeme’s Top-100 Launched

October 1st, 2007 Posted in Aside

So Techmeme is launching a list of the top-100 blogs - a move that will make all those stats-lovin’, feed countin’ bloggers extremely happy. Maybe this decision will prompt Techmeme’s Gabe Rivera to reveal the secret sauce that drives the site - and how blogs and blog post manage to find their way on to it. As far I can tell, it’s based on links with some manual tweaking but that’s just a guess. Update: mesh’s Mathew Ingram is ranked 39th on the list. Nice.
More: Couple of quick thoughts on the Techmeme 100: To get on the list, you must blog a lot. As a result, it’s difficult for the lone-ranger blogger to get on it. This explains why it’s dominated by large media players and multi-author blogs such as GigaOm and TechCrunch.
