waterston Here are seven more blogs that I didn't know existed until this week, which are doing or talking about some interesting things:
  • Unknown News reports news that you probably haven't read anywhere else. Readers submit first-hand accounts and interesting stories from the local press, and reading it is as addictive as potato chips.
  • As We Know It is embroiled in a debate on post-modernism, and has a whole Darwinian category on 'selection theory', for those that follow Dawkins or Gould.
  • Robert Patterson is blogging about a new Renaissance and Original Affluence, the concept I earlier ascribed to Peter Jay that pre-civilization man lived an easy, unhurried and happy life, not the nasty brutish one we're led to believe.
  • Science Blog reports the discovery of electrostatic rotation in subatomic particles, one that could revolutionize our understanding of matter, and make Einstein 'spin' in his grave.
  • The EatonWeb Portal categorizes over 10,000 blogs, and lets you browse for birds of a feather. You'll probably find your blog isn't listed, so take ten minutes and add it while you're there.
  • Truthout is great one-stop shopping for alternative news and op-ed, on the war, of course, but also on economics, the electoral system, the environment, women's rights, and a bunch of other issues. Author William Rivers Pitt includes some of his own well-written analysis in his op-ed section.
  • We Want the Airwaves is exclusively focused on media concentration, plans for further deregulation in the U.S., and the conservative domination of the media. And for up-to-date listings of Who Owns What, check the Columbia Journalism Review 's database.
I will be in New York tomorrow and unable to blog, so my next post will be Saturday. It will be another of my twisted short stories (if I get it finished in time). Thought for the day, from last night's Law & Order: You Are The Process.

WHAT THE BLOGOSPHERE WANTS MORE OF

Blog readers want to see more:
  1. original research, surveys etc.
  2. original, well-crafted fiction
  3. great finds: resources, blogs, essays, artistic works
  4. news not found anywhere else
  5. category killers: aggregators that capture the best of many blogs/feeds, so they need not be read individually
  6. clever, concise political opinion (most readers prefer these consistent with their own views)
  7. benchmarks, quantitative analysis
  8. personal stories, experiences, lessons learned
  9. first-hand accounts
  10. live reports from events
  11. insight: leading-edge thinking & novel perspectives
  12. short educational pieces
  13. relevant "aha" graphics
  14. great photos
  15. useful tools and checklists
  16. précis, summaries, reviews and other time-savers
  17. fun stuff: quizzes, self-evaluations, other interactive content

Blog writers want to see more:
  1. constructive criticism, reaction, feedback
  2. 'thank you' comments, and why readers liked their post
  3. requests for future posts on specific subjects
  4. foundation articles: posts that writers can build on, on their own blogs
  5. reading lists/aggregations of material on specific, leading-edge subjects that writers can use as resource material
  6. wonderful examples of writing of a particular genre, that they can learn from
  7. comments that engender lively discussion
  8. guidance on how to write in the strange world of weblogs
