Now “A-list” bloggers have another blog ranking list to strive for inclusion on (and then they can quickly claim that such things don’t matter, if they acknowledge them at all).

TechMeme has announced a new way of ranking tech blogs (and traditional news sources) for relevance and reach — The TechMeme Leaderboard, which will be based on the blogs and sources tha created the most headlines on Techmeme over the previous 30 days (so the list will hardly be static).

I think this list will instantly become more relevant than the only other “top blogs” list with any substance, the Technorati 100. The TechMeme leaderboard is probably one of the last nails in Technorati’s leaky creaky coffin…

The TechMeme Leaderboard won’t be officially released until tomorrow but Mike Arrington has the scoop at TechCrunch (see a screenshot below) and Dave Winer managed to finagle the full Leaderboard list from Gabe Rivera.
