The Best Blogs!
No, the one and only SoulHonky.com did not make Time's list of Top 25 blogs but it didn't make the list of 5 Overrated Blogs so we're counting it as a victory. I don't go to a lot of the blogs on the list although Slash Film is pretty damn good. I'd consider NY Magazine's Vulture blog to be my favorite followed by assorted sports and film sites but there isn't a random blog that I've really taken a shine to of late. Maybe because nobody actually "take a shine to" things anymore.
Since I don't feel like scrolling through the Top 25 and typing them down, here's Time's 5 overrated sites.
TechCrunch: Never heard of this one but it was supposedly very popular back in the day. The day being yesteday.
Gawker: I'd actually go with Gawker's West Coast sister site Defamer here although both sites have hit hard times and supposedly Defamer is on the block (current block: selling, future block: chopping). On the bright side, the Gawker empire's sports blog Deadspin was one of the best blogs of the year and deservedly so.
Jim Cramer's Blog: Why would anyone still listen to the guy who urged people to buy Wachovia stock a day or so before the company went out of business? Here's a link to fellow Worstie Gawker about that bad call of bad calls.
Perez Hilton: I've never really been a fan of this one. I preferred the Superficial and then WWTDD but both of them have sort of become paparazzi porn of late with most of their entries being candid shots of scantily clad celebs. And no, I'm not quite sure why I said that like it's a bad thing.
Daily Kos: A site that was born out of hatred of George W. Bush doesn't really have much purpose now that they have their guy in power. It can't be long before Kos switches hats with Bill O'Reilly and starts bashing conservatives who question our current fearless leader.
