The blogosphere's top 10 websites

We love lists! Don't we? Here is one: The website ://URLFAN is ranking the popularity of 3,783,534 websites based on blog mentions. In fact it is parsing 302,330,682 blog posts from 5,955,892 blog feeds according to its website - which basically means they filter a lot.

So who made the top 10? And who is first? Well, as with last year, the most mentioned website is Wikipedia.

1. en.wikipedia.org
2. youtube.com
3. flickr.com
4. twitter.com
5. google.com
6. myspace.com
7. facebook.com
8. imdb.com
9. nytimes.com
10. apple.com

The US tech experts of ReadWriteWeb compared this list with last year's and noted that Facebook entered the list for the first time - straight in at No7. The Washington Post site fell out of the top 10 to No12, still in front of the Huffington Post at No26. But CNN is listed as 131, so not many blogs are pointing readers in their direction.

And how are British news organisations doing? The Guardian is at 136, a bit behind the BBC – 111 - and the Telegraph site is at 128, while the Daily Mail's online home is at 396.
