Who are your top tech bloggers?
Henry Work over at TechCrunch lists out about 100 top tech bloggers that he culled from TechMeme’s Leaderboard. I’m sure it’s obvious to those of us that follow tech news that this isn’t exactly a great way to determine much of anything–except for those who are commonly on TechMeme. This probably says more about the editorializing of the TechMeme algorithm than anything else.
I’ll give Henry this, if we’re talking “Web 2.0″ for the most part, then TechMeme’s Leaderboard probably gives a good idea of the major trends in the industry. But there’s so much more to tech than TechMeme covers. Lots more. That’s one reason I started Thredr, because there are topics I (or my friends) like to follow that don’t show up on TechMeme. What kind of topics am I talking about? Well, you have to go no farther than Microsoft-oriented software developers. Most of the news around what’s going on in this group rarely makes it to TechMeme. So does much of the news around the iPhone or MIDs or the OLPC. Yes, there are sprinklings of news, but there is so much more to read about, to learn from.
And then there are tech bloggers that are sure not to make any typical tech blogger list. For example, what about Chris Anderson’s DIYDrones.com. Come on, you can’t get any techier than flying robots can you? 
So my list of top tech bloggers is probably much different than anything Henry would come up with. That’s fine. That’s why thredr means so much to me and my daily reading habits.
