Techcrunch aside, this top list at Time is essentially a publicity stunt. They pick some of the most popular blogs and say they are over-ratted; what better way to get people's attention?
But in this case, they happen to be right. In the absence of big news items coming from the Valley of late, TechCrunch has become a web 2.0 tabloid.
Because, obviously, there's nothing more useful than reporting on "overrated" blogs. (!)
What on earth would make anyomne think that some ex-J-school student knows enough about this subject to make a judgement. It's the dead tree version of link bait.
Sure time is still bigger, but TC has been adapting in the changing environment. Great job by the new CEO in rescuing TC from going down the ValleyWag path.
Seems Time may not really understand TC. They say 'reporting on the movers and shakers of Silicon Valley', while that is true to a point, the screenshot they show is about western europe.
TC should write an article about how Time is an over-rated mag.
