Top 100 weblog farms

I've been very surprised to see that MSN was still the first blogging solution blogs farm used in the world... I've never even dare imagining this... The top 100 list is available at Blogsentinel, below is the top 5:

1. 110016 (21.39%) : msn.com

2. 91057 (17.7%) : blogspot.com

3. 16799 (3.27%) : blogdrive.com

4. 16467 (3.2%) : persianblog.com

5. 15648 (3.04%) : modblog.com

MSN? No way :)

There are about 1.5 milion active users of LiveJournal, and about 1 million active MovableType and TypePad users, according to Blogcount -- http://dijest.com/bc/

Thanks Constantin for pointing on this, I must admit I was hoping someone would react and help clarify this... Working on a daily basis with Six Apart, I am aware of the numbers you mentioned, but I am still lost on this:

From the post you mentioned : http://dijest.com/bc/2004/08/does-ping-data-show-power-law-applies.html
"I looked at all the blogs noted as updated on http://www.weblogs.com/ and I compiled them by hand (finally, almost) in a small list.

The small list makes now more than 130,000 blogs.

To see which were the most used farms with blogs, I created a small page which lists, by fields, the blogs of my list: shares of the blogosphère...."

and it says the classification is based on "pings by source"...

So I think I've got it now: it's about blog FARMS...

That's why... Gotta update the first sentence of this post...
