Anyone heard of Technorati? While the name clearly alludes to the Illuminati — a super-sketchy cult/secret society meme — they’re slightly less terrifying, although their power to make or break you is eerily similar (where “you” = “a website”).

Think of Technorati as the Internet’s version of Big Brother (the bad one, no…the non-reality TV bad one). They’re enlightened…oh wait! Zow! “Illuminati” is Latin for enlightened! Doodz0rz this totally is coming together.

Technorati: Modern iteration of Illuminati? Possibly...

Anyway, they’ve got a big fancy list of the most popular blogs on their site. The Top 100 blogs, in fact.

A high rating on Technorati is a good thing. Technorati is a good thing. Provided you can accept that selling your soul for money and prominence is a good thing.
