Top 50 - 1/5
Mar 13th, 2008 by lavonardo
Guardian has picked top fifty blogs across the whole spectrum.
Some on the list are familiar and expected, some come out of the left field utterly.
- The Huffington Post
- The top dog is a collectively written political blog. Which I have never laid eyes on before.
- boingboing
- The eclectic selection of topics covered by boingboing is reason enough to read it daily. And about a third of the odd links featured here originate there.
- Techcrunch
- Too Bubble2.0 for the most part, but occasionally brimming with insight. Daily read, or skim, actually.
- Jason Kottke
- One of the very first blogs I started reading regularly, and still do. I even aped my movie rating page from this veteran.
- Dooce
- Never read this high-end haircut blog.
- Perez Hilton
- U.S. celebs. Usually in a bad light. Couldn’t care less.
- Talkingpoints Memo
- U.S. politics. Slightly more interesting than gossip. But not enough to read.
- icanhascheezburger
- The site that gave us lolcats. And the pictured animals accompanied by stilted english are still enough to draw me in, day after day.
- Beppe Grillo
- Italian politics and comedy. Might be worthwhile if Berlusconi makes it back to top.
- gawker
- Another gossip site. And marginally more interesting than others. Not enough to attract, however.
Next batch of ten in a day or several.
The read-ratio for this bunch is 40%, with no new catches, and only one to be checked out.
