By the power of blog
by Scoop Shachtman, 13 March 2008
The Guardian notes the top 50 power blogs. The criteria used for their ranking is opaque, but let’s celebrate the ranking of http://www.dirtydirtydancing.com/ coming in at a respectable 32nd. As The Guardian states:
If someone stole your camera, took it out for the night to parties you yourself aren’t cool enough to go to and returned it in the morning, you would probably find it loaded up with pictures like those posted on DirtyDirtyDancing. The site seems pretty lo-fi – just entries called things like ‘Cuba - not too bad’ and ‘Suharto - let’s party’ featuring pages of images of hip young relativists getting their party on. However, the site has had an undeniable effect on world politics. The original delight was in logging on to see if you’d made it on to the site – your chances increase exponentially if you repeat glib mantras.
Least likely to post ‘Let’s send some blue helmets into Darfur’

Have never heard of most of them. I guess you chose this example to demonstrate its clear intellectual superiority and importance to those below it - especially that immediately below at 33.
