The StatBot

The Techmeme leaderboard is limited only to the past 30 days. Here’s the Top 100 Sites on Techmeme, all time:

This list, is somewhat different from the current official one one. Most notable is that Engadget, which is at #2 here, is at #15 right now, while ReadWriteWeb, which is at #12 here, is at #4 now. TechCrunch keeps ruling, though it’s “presence” (i.e. Headlines from Site / Total Headlines) is drastically lower here than it is right now. Here’s a small chart showing how things changed:

TechCrunch has always been ahead of the rest, except for a brief time during March 08 when CNET News.com almost went over TechCrunch, but TechCrunch then breaks free and goes way past CNET News.com. The NYTimes has been “very” consistent here, with a pretty straight curve, while ReadWriteWeb has been slowly climbing.

But, Engadget has taken a nosedive after actually overtaking CNET News.com for a period of time in Jan 08 (CES, I presume). It’s now contributing less than 1% of Techmeme Headlines. Any thoughts why this is the case?
