That was yesterday’s determination by Technorati, which tracks the world’s most influential blogs. 
Frankly, I’ve always considered Deadline to be a website not a blog, even back in its formative stage when I was the only writer on Deadline Hollywood Daily. When it began in 2006, it ranked within 5,000; in 2007, within 2,500; in 2008, within 1,000. With the sale to MMC and this year’s addition of Mike+Nellie+Tim, and expansions from Hollywood into New York+London+TV, Deadline is more than ever the entertainment industry’s go-to website. And more exciting additions and expansions are in the works. Thank you, readers!

Well done. Keep it up D!
Congratulations!
It’s good to see great work recognized.
Sorry, it’s a blog!
i agree nikki, i never liked the word, ‘blog’ either. a creepy word.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s “GOOP” is still the most influential obviously
Stop censoring comments and you’ll do better.
DITTO!!!!
Congrats to Nikki and the rest of the Deadline Posse!
Onward and upward!
Cool. Yes! DHD is a blog. Your very personal opinions sprinkled with professional facts will keep it that way. Period.
Congrats…you’ve worked for it and earned it!
Good for you Nikki, but sorry to break it to you, Deadline is a blog. Just because it’s engulfed in ads doesn’t make it a website. Sorry, but still love your BLOG!
Another deserved honor, Nikki, to you and the rest of your hardworking staff. Congratulations!
Let’s see – misspellings, chaotic writing, many uninteresting stories, yeah it’s just a blog. And it’s your new hires that turned this from a website to a blog.
A website has personality and that is what DH had when you were the sole writer. Now it’s just a scrambled mess of Hollywood tidbits. I can get the same news elsewhere. I originally came to DH to get the news that nobody else had. It seems those days are over.
congrats from the tater state!
Think what you will. It’s a blog.
I’d call it a meeting of the mind’s. It has a more collective experience too it, than simply writing it all off to a particular format.
Kudos Nikki!
How exactly is this influential? Don’t you just report what has happened?
Interesing? Yes.
Influential? Hardly!
The most influential websites today all seem to be blogs, so it’s not a bad thing!
What exactly does this blog “influence?”
It does nothing but report the facts, usually after the fact. How does the influence anything?
-rr
Does’nt that depend on who reads what, and when they read it? I know Hollywood is a small town but I can’t fathom this site being totally irrelevant.
