The number of blogs on the web is growing exponentially, and everyone knows it. But here’s the kicker; there are about fifty or so that are most often linked around the web, and an interesting web of relationships ties a lot of them together. From the blogs of Gawker Media [ http://www.gawker.com/ ] that includes blogs we love like LifeHacker [ http://www.lifehacker.com/ ], to the extremely personal stories of Dooce [ http://www.dooce.com/ ] to the liberal political blog DailyKOS [ http://www.dailykos.com/ ], similar relationships abound between the most often read and linked to blogs on the net, and now someone’s bothers to put the relationships together into a tidy little graphic.

Sorry, Gears and Widgets isn’t on the list, but maybe we will be someday! Here’s the story, the entire list, including a nice infographic PDF that you can print out if you like the list:
