Having come years ago out of the "old media" (BusinessWeek writer), I'm amazed at the increasing impact of sites like Techcrunch, which arguably has already overtaken traditional media. And the fact that the top ten players command about a third of traffic on Techmeme shows me this is a less fragmented market that I would have expected, for better or worse. </p>mark ivey Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:51:16 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-730504Louis GrayMon, 23 Jun 2008 11:05:05 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-729329<p>Very Bad Credit Car Loans helps you to borrow car loans at competitive rates regardless of your past credit record.

What strikes me is the correlation between investment and reach; what used to be true for *big media* is now becoming true for blogs as well--the sites that can afford more writers to post more frequently to update more often have much of the news juice that readers crave--it would be interesting to chart the rise and fall of solo bloggers and see how they are faring compared to their mega blogging enterprises.</p>SusanWed, 02 Apr 2008 22:41:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-429216274<p>...let see if something can come out of new competition with techmeme. Today was the launch of <a href="http://naubo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="naubo.com">naubo.com</a> a Google tech News/techmeme style of site where users can comment, submit their own stories and add their own blogs to the list. It look cool and has the news organized by traditional media, blogs and submitted stories. Techmeme will have to keep up with the competition and add new features.</p>AnonymousWed, 02 Apr 2008 18:37:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-429216275<p>I think it'd be cool if we could all make our version of Techmeme, kinda like Corank, where we get to include the people we want to include.</p>peter caputaWed, 02 Apr 2008 17:41:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-429216278<p>@eldon, there's definitely a lot more fluctuation at the bottom of the list than at the top of the list, and weekly intervals would expose that more than my monthly snapshot view did.<br><br>I recognize I don't have all the stat tools (or time) to fully analyze the top 100, which is why I stuck with the top 10 for now.<br><br>@robert, you'll have to pay big bucks to get Mathew on board, it appears, but who knows?

So eventually, a month after the first group of blogs is strong, their strong week will pass out of the Techmeme leaderboard and their %s will take a hit. <br><br>Hope that makes sense.... I'm still waking up after another late night of blogging :)</p>eldonWed, 02 Apr 2008 17:10:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-429216282<p>Have you also looked at Yahoo Buzz? It has a very different ranking for its Sci/Tech category, which is heatlhy. If you looked at both Techmeme and Yahoo Buzz Sci/Tech, my guess is that Arstechnica would come out on top.</p>AnonymousWed, 02 Apr 2008 16:49:00 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/techmeme-leaderboards-top-ten-six.html#comment-429216283<p>Louis, this is GREAT examination (as usual) on your part, and shows that the strong are getting stronger. A key question from that is, as (if) that continues, will such entities come to, in some respects, more closely resemble traditional media outlets in terms of organization, structure and processes.<br>Hey, how does Scoble wind up first so often (across the blogosphere).
