I've never really read any blogs. Just figured they are lame, like journal entries from people I dont care about. I Cant really think of anyone in the world whos journal entries I would want to read anyway

Am I missing out? Sounds like maybe its more than that. I dont follow sports or celebrity gossip otherwise id check out the ones on your list.

I'm with you. I never understood the whole blogging thing. Sure, I understand why people write them; everyone wants to feel like people care about them.

Who's going around reading all these blogs and why? Do I really care that my friend is depressed that the sandwich he had for lunch was a little more dry than he's used to? Or that some some guy is having trouble with getting his cable bill straigtened out? WTF?

Blogs are more than just some dude's online journal. Tons of blogs are based on a subject (a sport, technology, liberal news, cars, etc) and are basically just newsfeeds. Some are comedy writing. The blogs mentioned in this thread aren't 1000 LiveJournal clones, they're actaully well written news and entertainment sources.

Think of it like reading a magazine that comes one article at a time throughout the course of the day/week/month.

The blogs I read, from the sidebar on my own [censored] blog.

The first two are personal blogs of my friends.

The next two aren't really blogs, but awesome cartoon sites.

Then a litany of sports blogs

Salon.com's gossip column, the Fix is fun.

More sports blogs.

I like uncrate.com. It's kind of a shopping/gadget type blog that updates daily. Kind of like gizmodo or engadget.

It's interesting to me that you didn't use Technorati rankings for this.
