As 2008 comes to a close, my dream of building a quality blog network that was more than just GigaOM has become a reality. While I have always believed in the quality of our editorial product, today we got a third-party affirmation of our efforts. PC Magazine (now exclusively on the web) has named three of our blogs — NewTeeVee, WebWorkerDaily and OStatic — to their Top 100 Blogs list. Kudos to the respective teams and site editors who have done a great job of building such strong editorial properties. As PC Mag puts it:

NewTeeVee is there to cover the revolution as television-like programming makes the leap to the Web.

OStatic is the go-to resource for information about open-source software.

WebWorkerDaily covers the technology that makes the work-from-home lifestyle possible.

In related news, jkOnTheRun was named to the Top 25 Blogs by the Trends Update site. Congrats to James and Kevin for making that list, which has some true heavyweights on it.
