Top Game Blogs, Top Auto Blogs

Posted by Scott on September 05, 2007 at 7 a.m.

To the extent that cars are (expensive) toys, I thought it was appropriate to cover these categories together.

Gaming has 2 slots in the Technorati 100. Kotaku is a Gizmodo blog with 9 editors listed on the site: Brian Crecente, Brian Ashcraft, Michael McWhertor, Michael Fahey, Kim Phu, Luke Plunkett, Flynn De Marco, Maggie Greene, and Mark Wilson.

Joystiq comes from rival Weblogs Inc. (WIN).

Autoblog is also from Weblogs Inc. It currently lists 11 bloggers who posted more than 20 times each in the past 30 days: John Neff, Frank Filipponio, Alex Nunez, Damon Lavrinc, Chris Shunk, Dan Roth, Chris Tutor, Sam Abuelsamid, Jonathon Ramsey, Siddharth Raja, and Sebastian Blanco. Like most of the WIN blogs, they don't bother with an "about" page. Worth noting: a spinoff called AutoblogGreen.

the Gamer's Guide

Shopping > Games

As Gizmodo is to gadgets, so Kotaku is to computer games. Edited by Brian D. Crecente, Kotaku provides hourly links and commentary for obsessive gamers-and explores the cultural ramifications interesting enough to attract a wider audience.

Joystiq

Joystiq was launched in June 2004 as an alternative to the junket-ridden, glorified press release fodder that passed for video game journalism at large mainstream media gaming news outlets. We exhaustively cover video game news from an independent, unbiased perspective -- we do not accept junkets from companies or ~~bribes~~ free schwag for personal use; any items we receive from game companies we return or give away in contests.

Autoblog

Do people tend to read both Kotaku and Joystiq, or just one?
