"A-List" Bloggers Market Share
Barring a discovery of another Paris Hilton video, this will be the most linked article in the blogosphere today.
It's another article by Technorati's Dave Sifry, this time dealing with the misperception that a few heavy hitting bloggers are somehow drowning out the rest of the blogosphere. It also debunks the theory that blogpower is more "concentrated" (whatever that means) than the MSM. Complete with Flash-based graphs! Read the whole thing.
As a card-carrying member of the Long Tail, this heartens me greatly. Although I'm not sure I completely agree with the use of linking as a proxy for readership. As Scott Chaffin puts it, nobody clicks anymore.
Niche-blogging is where it's at. Everybody's at the top of somebody's list.
That didn't quite come out right, but you know what I mean.

Well now I believe that there are in fact different "A" lists.
If you want to know about pathetic medical conditions or local obituaries count me right up there with the big boys.
