Mainstream media sites rarely link to anything outside of their own tag or reference spaces, to say anything of blogs. But it's interesting to note how the blogosphere has evolved from individuals linking to each other to big media sites; much of our top 100 consists of blogs that have morphed into big media sites or big media sites that have adopted blogging. But outside of the top 100 or so blogs, authentic conversations are alive and well. I've often considered whether Technorati should create an alternate top 100 that excludes the blogs that are venture funded, publicly traded or owned by major commercial concerns. Alas, we have other challenges to attend to but I appreciate this study of the data you've done. -Ian Interesting breakdown.
