The hot blog search news today is PubSub is supposed to debut a new version of LinkRanks—PubSub LinkRanks.  Lots' of talk on this (tech.memorandum is growing on this).  ClickZ broke the story—PubSub to Measure Blog Influence by Category—and many others followed suit:
So, what does this mean?  Most of us aren't ever going to make these lists.  If fact, I find it rather depressing sometimes if I focus on it too much.  I really like PubSub, Feedster, Technorati, and IceRocket.  I use them all the time.  I rely on them to give me the inside scoop on topics I'm following (like Qumana).

How important are link ranks, top 100 lists, etc to the Blogosphere?  I think, while they are fun to watch, you really should focus on who you are influencing not how many.  So, I'm going to stop obsessing (okay try) over how many links I get to my blog.  But I'll still check out the hot lists, just for fun.
