What Are The Big Blog Directories?

I have to admit, besides Best of the Web, which I’ve known for years, I don’t, or have ever, researched blog directories. I’m looking for some feedback here. If you own, or know of a blog directory, of any size, please go ahead and post it here in the comments.

  • Hey Jim, I own 5starBlogs.com. I bought it when it was DevBlogs.org, changed the name and built it up to a PR 5 - for what that's worth these days. ;-)

    I'm planning to sell it if anyone is interested, but in the meantime am still taking submissions.

    It's listed at Robin Good's New Media RSSTop55 Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites List. That's where you can find other top blog directories too.
  • Jim,
    Blog Carnival is one you may have forgotten about. Great place to post about your new boring little marketing idea.
    I found another one, that is really cool. I like these guys from Romania...

  • Well, they are not directories, more of networks, but I use mybloglog, blogcatalog, bumpzee, etc.
  • @Linda, yes, of course I know about 5star! Slaps my wrist for not mentioning you.

    @Adam, those are more aggregators/social networks than directories?

    I've been doing a lot of research trying to find some "blog directories", but I have to be honest, there isn't much out there?
  • Jim, How about the Carnivals?

  • iBlogBusiness.com www.iblogbusiness.com - sponsors of BlogWorld Expo - they vet all submissions for inclusion
  • Jim,
    Here's a pretty meaty series of lists of journalism blogs, as compiled by the excellent Cyberjournalist site. It was recently turned into a Wiki. I'm buried in there somewhere on one of the four lists.

  • Thanks for all the suggestions/links. Anyone else want to chime in?
  • How about http://web-directories.ws/press/blogs? It's a list of 184 blog directories listed by PR.

    Not a directory, but bloglines just released the top 1000 blogs based on subscriber count http://beta.bloglines.com/topfeeds
  • Hi Jim, I'm in Las Vegas and you're up on stage right now so I looked up your blog! (You're looking a little bored actually ... :-)

    I'm CEO of a company called Others Online. It's kind of a directory, I suppose -- but we don't organize blog URLs by category. Instead, our users organize themselves by whatever keywords/tags represent their interests, behaviors, what they're writing about, etc. (We also "auto-tag" users but that's another story.) Our primary purpose is to display them to others across the Web who are reading content relevant to those keywords -- targeted advertising for bloggers, really. But we do have a search page on our site too. No "directory" though.
