For the first time that I know of, TechCrunch hit moved into the no. 5 spot on the Technorati top blog list. Of English language blogs, only Engadget, BoingBoing and Gizmodo are larger. It is also no. 2 on the most favorited list.
This list changes around a bit every day, so it may be different tomorrow. And that’s ok, ’cause I got a a screenshot. 
Congrats to the CrunchGear team as well - they broke into the top 1,000 a month or so ago, and are just about in the top 500 (#515 today).
Right on dude, that is awesome news. Congratulations.
I can only join Om to congratulate you on that one!
congrats. Not the same level but TechCrunch France is French top 5 rank. Maybe in Technorati one day?
Good job Mike! You deserve it.
Great news about crunchgear as well.
Congratulations to you all
Yay! congrats!
You should close down your country sites and piss off top bloggers more often. Well done. You had a shockingly bad week, behaved like a bully, and now you congratulate yourself.
Let’s look at some of the stories that got you the high position:
