Top 100 Blogs

Fascinating post on SEOmoz examining the Internet's top blogs. It includes a downloadable list of the top 100 blogs, which is based on a mix of metrics. Lots of interesting information, including:

66% of the top 100 blogs are self-owned.
Only about 20% of the top 100 blogs are owned by large corporations.
Technology (57% of the top 100) and politics (18%) lead in terms of top 100 blog subjects.
All 100 are "professional" blogs - by that I mean they are done for business purposes.

We've posted quite a bit on the growth of small online publishers. This list nicely illustrates this trend.
