The top blogs are on MySpace whether we like it or not. Not all of the top blogs are there, but definitely the lions share. They have hundreds and even thousands of comments per blog posting. It's unfair to ignore them even if they are musicians, models, and comedians. Does that make them any less legit? The days of tech and political bloggers being falsely ranked ahead of popular culture blogs is over. Pop culture icons are now blogging and it's time to come to terms with it.

They have an image only service for MySpace / wordpress.com bloggers. That works fine without any delay. The way MyBlogLog does autojoin communities makes a lot of sense compared to Technorati favorites. But I don't see MyBlogLog replacing Technorati... I'd like to see Google come out with an amalgam of FeedBurner/Google Reader subscriber info. That would be the perfect ranking metric that reliably indicates how many people regularly read your content. I decided to quit using Technorati for blog promotion because of all the issues with it. I'm going to use s.technorati.com sometimes... but they can keep the rest of it. I'm tired of trying to figure out why my blog isn't indexed properly. http://internetducttape.com/2007/05/24/quitting-technorati/ I don’t know why people have speed issues with MyBlogLog — stop using the javascript.
