Interested in lists?
Lists are a great source to get some awareness?
At least you have something to blog about :)

The Guardian has taken the chance to rank 'The world's 50 most powerful blogs'

From Prince Harry in Afghanistan to Tom Cruise ranting about Scientology and footage from the Burmese uprising, blogging has never been bigger. It can help elect presidents and take down attorney generals while simultaneously celebrating the minutiae of our everyday obsessions. Here are the 50 best reasons to log on

Clever linkbait from a classical media...

[sound: boxer ring anouncement] And here he is, the man made who himself appear on the list, Mr. Copyblogger Brian Clark on a proud #50 :) [/sound]

50. Copyblogger

It's dry, real, and deafeningly practical, but for an online writing-for-the-internet blog, Copyblogger, founded in 2006, is remarkably interesting. Swelling with advice on online writing, it's an essential tool for anyone trying to make themselves heard online, whether commenting on a discussion board or putting together a corporate website.

Congratulations Brian!

I liked this part about the #1, The Huffington Post

1. The Huffington Post

(...) To borrow the gold-rush simile beloved of web pioneers, Huffington's success made the first generation of bloggers look like two-bit prospectors panning for nuggets in shallow creeks before the big mining operations moved in. In the era pre-Huffington, big media companies ignored the web, or feared it; post-Huffington they started to treat it as just another marketplace, open to exploitation. Three years on, Rupert Murdoch owns MySpace, while newbie amateur bloggers have to gather traffic crumbs from under the table of the big-time publishers.
