After locating the top 100 blogs, they were scientifically separated into seven categories. The best way to treat things you have no knowledge of is to make gross generalizations and slap a label on them.
Politics/Gossip/Opinion |
|
 |
Rant Central: The Huffington Post This is really the rant rave section of the web. They exist like traffic accidents – people slow down and stare even though they know they won’t see anything worthwhile. Here you find most personal blogs. Remember that it’s all about the rant. |
Tech/Gadget |
|
 |
Popular Example: Engadget Here is where you have all the blogs about technology and random gadgets that will never see the light of day. Sometimes interesting to read, but there are way too many of them and all they do is paraphrase press releases. |
Humor/Crazy Crap on the Web |
|
 |
Leader of the Pack: BoingBoing This is the Mad Magazine of the web. This is where you can find everything you need to waste hours upon hours on the internet. |
Blogging/Marketing/Website Development |
|
 |
Meta-Blog: Problogger This is the meta-cognition of blogging. Blogging about how to be a better blogger and make more money with your website. People read this meta-blognition like crazy. |
Niche/Hobbies/Sports |
|
 |
Rabbit Hole: FanHouse AOL Sports Blog These Blogs were kind of leftover. Here you find the obligatory obsessive sports blog, the woodworking blog, the place where you can obsess and forget that anything else exists. |
Social |
|
 |
Where to have a party: Mashable This type o blog is all about getting people to connect with each other. They do this mostly by copying other social portals (myspace, Facebook) or by requiring you to register in the forum. You have to be social, and you will like it. |
Productivity |
|
 |
Get Busy with: LifeHacker Almost in response to the amount of time you have wasted reading all the blogs is a category of blogs that seek to make your life more productive. Yes, the irony is obvious. These blogs show you how to get organized and make things happen. I’ll get to it, right after I am finished reading. |

I used their site and when I signed up I never got an confirmation email so I can’t get their code to add me. I resigned up and the same thing happened. I don’t get it lol.

Which site are you refering to? Technorati? They are a little buggy at times, but it is probably still the best directory/aggrigator out there.
