Hmm, I Don't Know if the First Few Count

Technorati recently introducted a feature called Top 50 Interesting Recent Blogs With Context. I took a glance at it this morning and notice that the first four entries were for BackBlog and HaloScan. Both are services that provide a comment systems for blogs (lots of people who use Blogger use it). I'm kind of wondering how these appeared in there because they really aren't blogs. The interesting blogs section is still fairly new and experimental, so I'm sure things like that will get filtered out eventually.

Here's a listing of the first six entries on the list (yes the first two are dulplicated also).

1. backBlog - 231 new blogs 814 blogs 10954 links
2. backBlog - 231 new blogs 814 blogs 10954 links
3. HaloScan.com - Free Weblog Commenting - 640 new blogs 2619 blogs 35356 links
4. HaloScan.com - Free Weblog Commenting - 640 new blogs 2619 blogs 35356 links
5. Weblogs at Harvard 13 new blogs 80 blogs 146 links
6. Exploding Cigar - 19 new blogs 74 blogs 168 links

Notice the huge difference in number of sites linking to the comments system. Which makes sense because there's probably that many blogs out there using them as a service. It's an interesting little glitch in the system, though one I'm guessing will disappear soon enough.
