Earlier Fons Tuinstra reported in Tidbits that blogs from outside the U.S. and U.K. (especially Asian blogs) appeared to be drastically underrepresented in Technorati — especially on Technorati’s list of the 100 most popular blogs.

Today, Chinese mega-blogger Xu Jinglei tops that chart — ousting Boing Boing, from the no. 1 spot. Previously, Xu Jinglei did not appear on this list.

E-Media Tidbits has an inquiry in to Technorati about this sudden change.
