Most influencial doesn't mean the best. From these I'll say that only Engadget, GigaOm and ArsTechnica are worth reading. Well, maybe VentureBeat too...
What about ReadWriteWeb ?
Can someone who reports other people's ideas be influential? I'd have thought the originator should be the one counted.
I guess they influence what people see, if they're popular.
I was expecting a list with techcrunch on top was just surprised they didnt make it.
Best according to PR people. Not quite the same as best according to HN people.
Russell, I agree re: your comment about the list being based on PR folk (admittedly, I am one). Interested to hear what a HN top 10 list would like. I'd have, personally, had ArsTechnica and ReadWriteWeb higher on the list.
