Big Losers! Ha! I feel like the loser for not even making the big losers list. But keep in mind that Blogdex et al are pet projects of individuals that don't really make any money and have been around for a while. The time for making use of aggregate weblog information on a mass-market scale has come. Google will do it. Blogdex didn't do it. Didn't even seem to want to do it. I guess what I am saying is that the potential of the information that Blogdex sort of uses is large, and that Google will likely be able to incorporate it in a manner that fundamentally affects its search technology. While the aggregators hint at what may be possible, they hardly begin to matter.

The only "threat" to profit-less aggregators is if Google comes up with its own Blogdex clone (which would just be lame.) But even if, I think the existence of Daypop, Blogdex, Popdex, Technorati and Memeufacture show that there's room for a few sites doing pretty much the same thing.

No, the big losers here are the sites that make their livelyhood off of services which are in competition with Blogger. Because now they are in competition with Google. Which sucks if you are an itty-bitty software company.

Go Pyra!
