The Rule (or is that "r00L"?) of the Masses
the Technorati Top 100 looks significantly different than it did a few weeks ago. Although apparently it's sort of old news, I missed that Technorati, the nifty service that lets you know which weblogs link to which other weblogs, started including LiveJournal users in its mix.
What's amazing is the order of magnitude by which the hyperlinking between LiveJournal users totally outstrips the "mainstream" webloggers. Even mighty contenders like Slashdot, Boing Boing, and Instapundit are knocked from the top spots.
LiveJournal has a reputation of being populated by geeky teenage gamers, but they've clearly built a social network that's as, if not more, robust than the non-LiveJournal blogosphere.
Prediction: this is just a shadow of what we'll see when AOL Journals start to get traction.

Perfect summary — mind if I link it? It's interesting that Slashdot is now 5th, instead of 1st or 100th. I can't wait for AOL Journals :)
