The 10 worst blogs in Technorati’s Top 100

June 27, 2007 | by Jefferson | Filed Under Websites | 1 Comment

Technorati is one of the most popular blog search engine on the net, as well as a major community site for bloggers who bookmark and subscribe to each others blogs. One of the most notable features of Technorati is its ranking system, which gives individual blogs scores based on the number of other blogs that link to them. Many bloggers are obsessed with increasing their rating on Technorati, something that could eventually land them on Technorati’s list of the 100 Top Blogs on the net. While the 100 most popular blog list contains many A-list bloggers, there are also quite a few blogs that suck on the list as well.

Here are 10 blogs that suck on Technorati’s Top 100:

1. Peety Passion: After checking several recent entries on this blog, I couldn’t locate anything entertaining, humorous, thought-provoking, or meaningful. It just plain sucks.

2. I Can Has Cheeseburger: Images of cats and dogs with crappy one-liner jokes typed on top of them. If I wanted to see that, I’d simply visit any third rate webforum.

3. Perez Hilton: The most popular gossip blog on the net sucks. All Perez does is pick up stories that have already been covered on other popular gossip blogs and write unwitty insults on them with MS paint.

4. Xiaxue: This site is little different than thousands of personal blogs found on Blogspot/Xanga/Livejournal. Some girl posting pictures of food she eats and people she hangs out with, none of whom are famous or interesting: wow, that sucks.

5. Michelle Malkin: This conservative blogger is certainly good at getting media attention every time she acts like a stupid bitch, but when it comes to actually blogging useful content, most of her posts are just tired repostings of news stories we’ve already seen on other conservative news blogs.

6. Shoemoney: The fact that this bald guy can make big bucks on the internet helped provide inspiration to bloggers everywhere. After all, if an illiterate man who can’t string together a coherent post can make money online, can’t anyone?

7. Shokotan: Shokotan is the most famous blogger in Japan, but all of her posts consist of mobile phone photos of herself smiling/putting her cats in her mouth, along with a few sentences of text about what she’s up to. That might fly with the Akihabara nerds who love her, but I’m afraid I’ll have to say her blog sucks.

8. Guy Kawasaki: This guy apparently knows how to make successful businesses, but his blog is dull. The “amazing” new site he created and hyped on his blog, Truemors, probably deserves a Who Sucks post of its own.

9. OCTPOB: If this crappy livejournal is the best blog Russia can field on the list, the whole blogging thing must not be very big over there (that, or Technorati sucks at tracking).

10. Boing Boing: I know a lot of you are going to disagree with this, but Boing Boing overrated and doesn’t deserve it’s place near the top of Technorati’s rankings. Sure, it posts some interesting links (most of which were already on sites like Digg), but Boing Boing’s authors spend way too much time making political rant posts that are just as abrasive and annoying as those they are opposing. Oh, and please stop telling us to buy your books, self-promoting losers.

I would agree with all of them, yes, even Boing Boing, except for number 2. Methinks your inclusion of that on this list shows how much you suck.
