More interestingly, the list is a mish-mash of technology, celebrity, finance, etc., blogs… which I think makes the list a bit noisy.  While I understand diversification makes sense, lumping different publications together in a list, just because they happen to be powered by blogging software, is a bit odd.  That’s basically like having a list of sites powered by a given CMS… who cares?

It would be better to see top 5 finance blogs, top 5 tech blogs, top 5 celeb blogs… you know, to compare apples with apples.

Then again, I am biased: here’s a rundown of the Eight Elite Technology Blogs.
