Blog discussions
Too much out there these days on the blogs v. journalists question, but still some have interesting things to say. Here's But Who Watches the Watchdogs?, a column by liberal cartoonist Ted Rall that makes some good points about some of the hate-spewing bloggers out there:
"Yeah, there's a new sheriff in town. Unfortunately he's drunk, he's mean, and he works for the bad guys."
I found this link via a new column on slate, Today's Blogs, which links to topics that blogs are talking about every day. There are lots of ways to monitor blogs, including Memeorandum, and blog montior/search engines like Technorati, Feedster, Daypop, and more. Slate's feature will make it easier. posted by liz at 11:14 AM
