The Times: Five blogs to log
FIVE BLOGS WORTH READING
1 www.boingboing.net Originally an offbeat print magazine, it has four main contributors whose chief interests are technology, bizarre news from around the world and other "wonderful things".
2 www.bookslut.com/blog Jessa Crispin monitors the literary world from Austin, Texas, alerting book-lovers to the latest hot debates, interviews, reviews and news.
3 www.buzzmachine.com Jeff Jarvis, the editor of Entertainment Weekly, is quick to pick up on showbiz buzz, but has lately been tracking weblog culture in Iraq and Iran. Unlike most bloggers, he can actually write.
4 www.metafilter.com Any of the 171,151 members can nominate a link, but only those voted good enough by the others make it to the front page.
5 www.slashdot.org The techies' ultimate blog, it specialises in "news for nerds", mostly IT and science. Its readership is such that a single entry can make or break a product release.
