Yesterday, Time published their "First Annual Blog Index":

From millions of blogs about nothing, we've selected the 25 best about something—from politics and global affairs to shopping and sports. And, yes, we've got a few about nothing, too

(Yes, they forgot the trailing period.)

Here's our look at the numbers.
