Technorati responds? Xu Jing Lei Now Tops Technorati 100, ahead of Boing Boing

My question of why Xu Jing Lei, the Chinese movie celebrity who regulary gets thousands of comments and hundreds of thousands of page views for each article she writes, was not in the Technorati 100 seems to have been answered. She is now Number 1, ahead of even Boing Boing.



It seems Technorati is listening AND reacting (as any good blog monitoring company should).

UPDATE: Technorati writes about the change on their blog:

Those of you paying attention to the Technorati 100 will have noticed that it is getting more international, due to the explosion of non-English blogs as Dave noted in State of the Blosphere. With today's update, the number one spot has changed from Boing Boing by Xeni Jardin and friends to 老徐 徐静蕾 新浪BLOG by Xu Jing Lei.
