For many bloggers the relevant sphere of influence is not overall popularity, as those indexes express. This is not only important to bloghers, but also niche communities such as nonprofits and nonprofit technology bloggers as well. In Particular, the Technorati Top 100 is based purely on inbound links. Interesting food for thought.
