BlogStorm has announced the top 100 UK blogs, with Mashable sitting at number one, ahead of the pack by a large margin.

I suspect we won on a technicality; many of our core editors and writers are in the US, and we definitely have a US slant, while we have feature writers across Europe, Asia and Australia. Our servers are in California, while US users are the largest segment of our readership. We are, in short, a US-focused blog run mainly by Americans, read by a global audience and founded by a Brit.

The ranking uses Alexa (grumble) and Technorati rankings to order the blogs. Worldwide, Technorati ranks Mashable in 8th position.

Either way, congrats to Adam, Kristen, Adam H, Stan, Sean, Andy, Mark and everyone else for being “big in the UK”. Please use your international stardom for good, not evil. ;)

PS. BlogStorm is currently down.

Yeah, this blog rocks. Weird how geographically it's spread out all over the place. I'm in California, the internet startup capital of the world.

Shame the quality of the blog has gone down hill. You guys put out WAY too many articles. If I leave my RSS reader for a few days, I come back to 250+ articles. Insane.

This is going to do me SO much good in the clubs! "Hey... how YOU doin'? I'm HUGE in England!" Congrats, Pete:)
