First of all, the top two categories are obvious. Most folks are not only publishing opinion but spend their time reading it. Additionally, the internet’s power users and folks who spend a bunch of time reading are tech folk.
The blogging/Web Development group, that represents 16 of the top 100 blogs, is perhaps the most interesting. A large number of people are really interested in making their blog/website profitable and it drives a large amount of traffic to these sites.
The other group of note is the Humor/Random content group at the end. One has to image that the folks interested in this content are too busy to aggregate it themselves. Therefore, you have the dominance by a small group of sites.
In conclusion, this profile of the top 100 raises more questions than it answers. Is this group of blogs a microcosm of the blogs of the web? What are the trends of growth in these groups? Does anyone read blogs?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

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.
