most popular blog

Have you ever wondered, who/what is the most popular blog in the world? And how can it be measured?

Well, I find something in Technorati. It seems that they ranked blogs, measured by links as they said in their page: “Popular Blogs. The biggest blogs in the blogosphere, as measured by links.” Fair enough. Although there are many reasons to put a link to your site, but indeed the more links you have on your blog, it can only mean one thing. That your blog is popular. So here is the top 10 most popular blogs (in blogosphere):

1. Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things
2. Instapundit.com
3. Daily Kos
4. Gizmodo
5. Drew Curtis’ FARK.com
6. Engadget www.engadget.com
7. Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall
8. Davenetics* Pop Media Web
9. Eschaton
10. dooce

For your information, the number 1 blog has 15,458 links. Amazing. And some blogs that I read actually are quite popular. Jason Kottke in number 14. Scobleizer in number 30. Joi Ito in number 54. Stopdesign in number 69. Seth Godin in number 89. For comparison purpose only, Indonesian blogger Priyadi are in the number 4,751 Technorati rank. Goblogmedia rank in number 52,726.

As for this blog, my blog, I only rank as the number 206,775. It doesn’t matter actually since I don’t blog for fame or fortune (yet?). But it is quite fun to see my blog ranked. How about you?

UPDATE: Something just crossed my mind. I am curious. Who/what is the number one Indonesian blog according to Technorati? If anyone happens to know the answer, would you mind sharing it here?
