The World’s Top 50 Blogs

In a move to try and become a relevant online publication Time Magazine put out a list of the top 50 blogs that you can’t live without.

Here is how they rank 5 of the blogs:

The Huffington Post: All hail HuffPo, the political blog against which all others are now compared. HuffPo has become one of the most popular and widely quoted sites on the web, its influence easily rivaling that of many mainstream media outlets.

Lifehacker: Sometimes, life throws so many problems at you at once that you just want some quick and dirty solutions. Lifehacker is full of tips, shortcuts, downloads, web sites, do-it-yourself projects, and how-to’s for getting small things done and moving on with life.

Metafilter: The venerable — okay, crusty — community blog has been around since 1999, an eon in webtime. While the typical blog is written by one person wearing sweatpants reclaimed from the hamper, Metafilter lets any user — regardless of what they’re wearing — contribute links and brief commentary highlighting interesting stuff he or she finds on the web.

TreeHugger: In a green world, it’s clear that the Internet has a huge advantage over the tree murdering print media in championing sustainability with a straight face. TreeHugger is the most complete of the hundreds of grassroots green blogs; think of it as the Wal-Mart of sustainability, if you can imagine Wal Mart being sustainable.

PostSecret: PostSecret is one of those rare one-note blogs that actually works, mainly because the note is so beautiful and resonant. The blog is an ongoing community art project in which ordinary people mail in a personal secret written by hand on one side of a homemade postcard.

The top 25 that made the list are:

    I’d actually say my website, but I guess I’m biased in that :D I disagree with their saying Ars Thecnica is overrated though. I think their manifesto is beautiful, and their site layout is superb. But once again, that’s just me.

    College Mogul is new, but I think we’ll eventually get up there too. We obsessively profile and cover college entrepreneurs and their startups. Did you know there are over 10,000 new startups each year from undergraduates, graduates, and recent grads? Theres not too many blogs that cover this space, so I think we have a lot of potential. We would love to get some feedback, we’re also always looking for new startups to cover and more contributing writers.

  3. That’s a nice list. Some of them I haven’t heard of, but I will definitely be checking them out. I’m always on the hunt for good reading material.

    Huffington Post #1? What about Drudge Report?

    Huffpost unique viewers: 800,000

    Drudge Report unique viewers: 1,600,000

    Looks like Time magazine might be showing a slight preference eh?

    I can say that I’m looking forward of visiting this site more often. This site is eventually a great help for people having difficulties with their startups. Well anyway,just a piece of advice, we all know that business startups are full of challenges, so better help yourself to be prepared in all aspects that it may entails. Gather data as much as you can and study your business plans very well. One more thing, if you really want to be successful visit this site more often to satisfy your inquiries.
