Technorati: What They Should Be Measuring
Richard McManus takes a look at what's hot in the top 100 at Technorati. Boring.
What I would like to see is what is growing in interesting: what is hot, what blogs are gaining ground very rapidly, whether they are moving from 10,000 to 5,000 or 500 to 400.
This focus on the top 100 is asinine, and amazingly uninformative. It's like hit radio, playing the same stupid hits over an over. You never hear any new music.

Thank you for that and I agree with you 100% on all counts.

Al Gore's TV network, Current.tv, has a short-form show called Google Current, that editorializes this very information [but for Google searches, obviously].

It's generally hilarious.
A friend of mine is a producer/writer for the show. His blog is also pretty funny...he takes .gov public domain photographs and writes new captions for them. A fav of mine:
