This article starts out by observing what brought blogging into the spotlight of mainstream media. It all started with Arianna Huffington, a wealthy socialite, who decided to jump on board with the underground fad. Needless to say, the Huffington Post made the number one slot under the 50 most popular blogs.
Among the top five blogs came “Boing Boing”; a liberal blog that ties in quirky little side notes to keep its readers entertained, “Techcrunch”; a blog focused on the ever changing technology that we are constantly dependent on, “Kottke”; an un opinionated blog with links to websites and articles that interest the blogger and “Dooce”; the personal blog of Heather Armstrong.
One popular blog that came in as number 11 was “The Drudge Report” which got its claim to fame by leaking the scandalous Clinton-Lewinsky phenomenon. Readers face a love hate relationship with the Drudge due to its tabloid feel. It is certainly one that is known of by many and despite its sense of gossip, people cant help but read what the latest buzz is.
The top 50 blogs vary greatly leaving something for everyone and a small glimpse into the ever growing world of blogging.
