Mea culpa on not including IPKat. I can say that the list is accurate given the way I went about creating the list, as described in the article. I was rather amazed that it was not easier to find blogs for a certain category through Technorati.

In any event, I am not happy with the list and I am trying to figure out ways to come up with a better list. I am thinking about opening nominations so that anyone can suggest a blog. Then from those nominated I can get the Technorati ranking. Given that Technorati ranking can be manipulated to at least some extent I am thinking about then also including a polling feature as well. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone has.

Given that Technorati authority is good for 6 months it seems appropriate to try and create a bi-annual list. Given that this first list was somewhat compromised I am preparing to do this again shortly.
