I think that Bloglines top ranked RSS feeds list is fascinating. I'm going to try to put monthly updates of this list in an effort to keep track of changes in the popularity of blogs and news sites.

3. Boing Boing
4. Dilbert
5. Gizmodo
6. Google's Blog
7. The New York Times (Main Page)
8. The Register
9. CNet
10. Quote of the Day
11. Scientific American

16. A List Apart
Proof that blog aggregators are favored by early adopters: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15 & 16.
That's over half the list! It remains to be seen if as the expansion of the internet increase and therefore blog aggregator use increases, what kinds of changes will happen to this list. Well, that's my sworn mission, until I get bored with it. (Also, do techies think Dilbert is that funny? I mean, it's good, but #4?)
Over at IT Kitchen, Burningbird talks about the changing rules of influence in the blogosphere. Pertinent?
