Where does your favourite U.S. blog fit?
A side trip, today, into the blogosphere. A couple of Vanity Fair staffers have come up with a "blogopticon", a quad-map of the most popular blogs in the U.S., located by whether they're newsy or opinionated, scurrilous or earnest. The thing is actually an advertisement for why the web is so wonderful.
Every icon has a pop-up window that describes the site when you roll over it. Every icon has a direct link to that particular site. While some sites might argue about where they are placed, it's fun to see. And I wonder where we would put -- say -- the various Canadian sites available. (Dibs on the lower right quadrant.) Note that, with the possible exception of Salon and the National Review's The Corner, none of the sites cited are run by magazines.

Radar is the most run by magazines, actually, and The Atlantic pays Andrew Sullivan's salary offline and on.
Quite right.
Hey, we're Canadian! And we're on the list! (Sort of!)
