Nature profiled the top 5 science blogs. They base their list on Technorati rankings. I personally don’t believe in Technorati’s rankings very much anymore after they interpreted 200 incoming links as 0 and I had to wait a month for support only to find out they didn’t know what was wrong but it seemed to be working again.
The list is interesting, though, especially to me and especially now, because I am writing an article about science blogging at this very moment. (Not really… I confess, I’m actually writing a blog post.) I asked five science bloggers of varying backgrounds (scientists and science writers) about their blogs and their readers, and will compile it into something meaningful that won’t be in print and online until September. Don’t wait up for it, I’m sure I’ll remember to link to it when it’s up.

hmm in this top 5, at least 2 seem to focus mainly on “political” science topics as climate change and evolution. Maybe that says more about Nature’s profile then about them being top 5 blogs? Something else that becomes clear is that group blogs have the best chance to become big.
They picked the top 5 from blog ranking site Technorati. So it’s really those 5 that have the most visitors and sites linking to them. Not necessarily Nature’s 5 favourites.
