Twingly Debuts BlogRank, Guess Who Leads The Top 100

Twingly , the social blog search engine that prides itself in being completely spam-free , has launched BlogRank as a way to identify the 100 most important blogs in 12 different languages based on a proprietary ranking system. It's very similar to what Technorati has been trying to achieve with their authority ranking, i.e. creating a Google PageRank for blogs. The biggest difference is that Twingly breaks down the most popular blogs by language, which they claim is worth much more for local blogs than competing with others at an international level. I tend to agree with that. To demonstrate the technology, Twingly is debuting its Top 100 today, taking another page from Technorati in that regard. We may be a little biased, but we like Twingly's Top 100 better because we came out on top across all languages tracked (we also lead the English-language blog ranking)
