Tech Media's Most Influential Web Sites

Rob forwarded this on to me last week and I'd thought I'd post it here for those that hadn't seen it yet. This list comes from Techmeme's Leaderboard. The biggest shocker for me was to see Engadget drop from 2nd place to 19th. Are there any sites that you often reference that you don't see on here?

"Since the Techmeme Leaderboard reflects the reality that both blog-driven sites and traditional sites define today's news, use it to discover new sources, recommend sites to others, or illustrate where tech news breaks."

1. TechCrunch (still at the top)
2. CNET News (up from 5th)
3. Silicon Alley Insider (up from 13th)

Another big jump is AppleInside jumping up from 49th to 7th. Don't tell TheBaconmeister but looks like Apple is big in '08.
