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.
