BlogPulse has released a ‘What’s hot in the blogosphere in 2005?’. Relevant to blogs on that review by BlogPulse are the lists of top blogs, top blog posts and probably the top media sources as well.

The blogs in BlogPulse’s list of top blogs in 2005 include:

1. Boing Boing
2. Engadget
3. Albino Blacksheep
4. Instapundit.com
5. Power Line
6. Gizmodo
7. Think Progress
8. Political Animal
9. Slashdot

Almost none of the blogs on this list are unexpected. From traffic to visitor involvement, these blogs are clearly among the best of the best. But specifically, the top blogs were compiled by counting the number of bloggers linking to these blogs.

In any case, I wonder how the bloggers blogging on these blogs feel about this success. An annual confirmation of their top dog status? Or a mere milestone in a greater long-run target?
