Between 1991 - 1995 ZDNet was basically a subscription based dig. service company, which used to offer computing information to CompuServe.

But post 1995, the growth chart of ZDNet was worth watching.

They launched ZDNet News.

Not only this ZDNet is also present in Japan and UK.

So these were the 05 best Tech blogs to follow in 2017.

Apart from this, I would also like to mention one more blog as a newcomer, which might give these well settled sharks a run for their money.
