TIME magazine came out with its list of the top 25 blogs of 2009. They also listed the five most overrated blogs, including the liberal darling, Daily Kos.
Markos Moulitsas — alias “Kos” — created Daily Kos in 2002, a time he describes as “dark days when an oppressive and war-crazed administration suppressed all dissent as [...]
This morning, the Burlington Free Press had an article about the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This is a perfect example of big government causing more problems than it solves.
It’s great that the press is finally covering this. The only problem? It goes into effect tomorrow.
There was virtually no reporting of [...]

So, I missed the Third Annual Blogger Barbecue.
But, if you care about that at all, you already knew. Otherwise, you weren’t there either, so you don’t care if I was!
This morning, I was picking up my kids from a summer camp near Plymouth, NH. That’s almost 3 hours away, not counting stops.
I had [...]
I guess the AP wants to charge bloggers for quoting AP content on their sites.
Well, Michelle Malkin decided to use the AP’s rates to calculate how much they would owe her for quoting her blog without permission. It’s at least $132,125.
Gee, I guess that one was poorly thought out, AP.
Here’s a clue: Bloggers still [...]

In other really cool blogging news, I am posting this from outside in my yard! How cool is that? I love being wireless.

I was thinking it would be cool to jot down my random political thoughts that are too short to [...]
On the day I sing the praises of Diigo, my Lunchtime Links did not auto post. I have no idea why. Sometimes the auto posting runs late, but I set it to post at 11:00AM to compensate for that. It’s already 12:53!
Update: My auto-post never went up today. I don’t know what [...]
I finally decided which social bookmarking tool I would use to do my daily lunchtime links posting.
Diigo
Diigo rocks! It is like Clipmarks meets Del.icio.us.
They call it “social annotation.”
You can bookmark, clip, sticky-note, and highlight. And then share.
You can even share your annotated links, so someone else can view what you highlighted on a [...]
Does new media influence traditional journalism? Some bloggers like to think so. Others think those bloggers might just be a tad self-aggrandizing.
Turns out the bloggers are right.
According to a new poll, “Over 75% of reporters see blogs as helpful in giving them story ideas, story angles and insight into the tone of an [...]
