# What blogs are other people reading?

By Roy Osherove November 7, 2004 In [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging)

**Historical article** · Originally published November 7, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

I think it was a nice guy named Oren who asked me at the recent [IVBUG](http://www.renaissance.co.il/ivbug/) meeting about resources where you could see what other people are subscribing to in their RSS readers. Along comes [Scoble](http://scoble.weblogs.com/) _(its been months since I've found anything really valuable there - it's gotten to be a lot like "Name Drop, Name Drop, been here, did that, got to see this,this guy likes me, this guy hates me, this one wants a link (all together now!)")_

with [this post that sums things up](http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/10/28.html#a8531) for resources of just this kind:

_The_ [_Technorati Top 100 blogs list_](http://www.technorati.com/live/top100.html) _has changed a lot recently. Lots of new blogs and it feels more accurate based on my looks around the blogosphere. I'm honored to be holding down the #64 spot._

_Compare to_ [_Feeds.scripting.com's Top 100 list_](http://feeds.scripting.com/rankings)_;_ [_Feedster's Top 100 list_](http://feedster.com/top100.php)_; and_ [_Bloglines Top Blogs list_](http://www.bloglines.com/topblogs)_._
