Technorati is all blogs - even myspace blogs. It may not be useful to compare Techcrunch and Ariana Huffington anymore. The techmeme folks also have a political niche (memeorandum) and pop culture (wesmirch) and I suppose, even a baseball niche http://www.ballbug.com/ It's a different approach than Technorati and at least as far as I'm concerned - I visit Techmeme way more.

It’s a different approach than Technorati and at least as far as I’m concerned - I visit Techmeme way more.

First, the techmeme list is naturally limited by the group of people who appear on it. If my site gets 3000 links, but none from the ones that appear on techmeme, I don't show up. Technorati's list, while not all-inclusive (statistically impossible), at least tries to include every blog that gets a link. That list is only limited by those that either don't know about technorati, or choose to not sign up. The way I see it, a techmeme top 100 is alot like having a "best scores" board at a private country club.
