"According to Compete and Quantcast, the Web's most popular tech blog is no longer TechCrunch, but social media blog Mashable"

Mashable is also winning in Alexa rankings too - and when sites are in the top 100k Alexa is pretty accurate ;)

Is a social media blog a technology blog?
- David Damore
David: Social Media is Technology. Mashable also cover a lot of Technology News
- Nicholas James
Some of us prefer to think that the fact that TechCrunch was ever #1 is tragic in the extreme. Good going, Mashable :)

LANjackal: Techcrunch are an excellent Technology Blog highlighted in http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... with some of the recent stories they broke
- Nicholas James
This must be the consequence of Mashable appearing on Twitter's SUL...
- Andrew Terry
Andrew that's probably the explanation plus the fact that they were mainly posting Twitter posts as discussed here http://friendfeed.com/profitb... with responses off Mashable Writer Ben Parr ;)

@Nicholas: Really? Since when does shoddy journalism = excellence? See here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009... in which TC explicitly encourages inaccurate reporting using the excuse of "reader involvement". Especially after the Last.fm fiasco, IMO TC's articles hold as much water as the checkout stand tabloids reporting on aliens in the White House. I prefer Mashable's well written, informative posts to TC's rapid fire drivel. Sensation and hype != reliability.
