Feedster Top 500 creator J. Scott Johnson, who is also a co-founder and CTO of Feedster, said in a statemen that they left out some non-bloggy blogs and plan to change the list up each month. He says, "We left out professional news sites, aggregation systems, and some fairly static web sites that happened to have feeds but don't 'feel bloggy.' This sort of filtering is a different screen than what we use to categorize news versus blogs in Feedster search and is much more subjective. Our first iteration of this list solves the staleness problems and not-a-blog problems that others have faced."
