1.000 (random?) web2.0-sites ranked by traffic

Posted on | August 18, 2006 | No Comments

Seth Godin and Ron Hornbaker from Alexaholic (a smart tool for comparing several sites by their Alexa traffic-data) have put together a comprehensive ranking of almost 1.000 web2.0-websites (‘web2.0′ being defined as sites that ‘let people collaborate and share information online in a new way’ – Wikipedia).

while it’s fun to grep through the list (from rank 500 downwards it gets quite obscure), I don’t think it’s really relevant – the mix of compared websites is just too diverse. or is there anything remarkable in that developer-targeted sites like rubyonrails.com or dojotoolkit.com are outnumbered by consumer-sites like myspace.com or del.icio.us? in between there are random personal blogs, while authorities like TechCrunch are missing. I’ld suggest to split the list into categories like ‘consumer’, ‘dev/backend’ and ‘media’. furthermore, Alexa’s objectivity is of couse debatable, at best.
