List of Blogs Nobody Reads but Should and Other Lists

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 08.22.05 // 07:12 AM

I, like many others, am tired of all the talk about blog lists and rankings. Technorati has the Top 100, Feedster has the 500, BlogPulse offers a ranking as part of their Blog Profile.

How about these lists:

- Bottom 100 Blogs Nobody Reads But Should
- Top 1000 Overrated Blogs
- Top 10 Blogs From Bloggers Who Shouldn't Blog

Or on an individual level:

- Blogs I Don't Read Anymore and Why
- Blogs I've Never Heard Of (kinda tough to make that list)

Yes there will always be the top blogs in certain sectors, but the power of the blogosphere is that the next great idea can come from a blog ranked 675,214 by Technorati.

During BlogNashville Dan Gillmor said, "Just think if people in nursing homes could blog, what would we learn?" At first my thoughts were of exposing nursing home abuse, but I think Dan was talking about knowledge transfer. All those people with all that knowledge and experience, but nobody to share it with.

Update 9.1.05 Technorati has launched Blog Finder, a tool to rank blogs by category.

Ok I have to ask... is the top bullet in your job description 'Use the word Blog as many times as possible in each entry'? Seriously, the word blog or some other variation of it appears 15 times in this post. It's like the rest of the content is filler for your blog-athon.

Actually, I'd read all those lists frequently!

Hey sonny, we don't need your blogs here in the nursing home!

I would also be interested in:
Top 100 New blogs (weekly updated)
Top 100 Spam blogs (which would then be reported)

You have to admit Top lists have some good uses.

i just did a search for "blog lists" on google and came up with your blog. ironic, huh?

saw that you are from ft. walton beach, florida. i'm from southwest alabama (don't wanna get too specific...you know how that is...)

anyway, interesting reading...

good job!

I am new to blogging and wonder about the Bottom 100 Blogs Nobody Reads But Should list. Wonder if I can make that one for awhile.

Josh, I appreciate your blog site.

By the way, Josh, my 1st ever and new blog site is http://www.whoelsehasyourname.info

Much to learn.
