Every now and then I check in on Technorati's top 100-blog list, rarely are there any real surprises. But this time I was surprised - I'm referring to the success of the blog di Beppe Grillo (now number 8), the outrageous and comic Italian blog that has "tackled financial scandals and political corruption." How does Beppe do it? I'm not sure, but it can't hurt that the blog appears in Italian, English, and Japanese.

Hat tip to colleague and consultant Giovanni Rodriguez, who tells me he's now proud again of his Italian heritage. But, he's still wondering about the other half - "where are all the Puerto Rican bloggers?"
