Comments on: Blog and Die: The NYT Says We Blog ‘Til We Drop http://profy.com/2008/04/05/blog-and-die-new-york-times/ Internet news and commentary Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:52:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: My Favorite Webby Nominees - Profy.Com http://profy.com/2008/04/05/blog-and-die-new-york-times/#comment-462191 My Favorite Webby Nominees - Profy.Com Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:55:42 +0000 http://profy.com/2008/04/05/blog-and-die-new-york-times/#comment-462191 [...] Of course, nominations can't please all the people all the time, and I felt there were some seriously glaring omissions. Best Political Blog left out my two favorites: Wonkette and The Daily Dish by Andrew Sullivan. Yes, I did just say I wanted a Gawker property nominated, but Wonkette's irreverent take on U.S. politics is better than any humor blog out there, while still giving readers the story. As for Andrew Sullivan, if any blogger is in serious danger of not coming up for air, it's him. No development goes unnoticed, and I actually cleaned out several of my political feeds simply because he's on top of every story out there, usually linking the most reliable source.

For my spouse and me, blogging is a business necessity, an addiction, and also a pleasure. I blog about real estate (I'm a Realtor in the San Fernando Valley in CA). My husband is in the process of promoting his new cat book on cat blogs and sites and I'm helping him with that, too. You haven't lived (or really enjoyed life's whimsy) until you've spent all day and all night on cat blogs. I really enjoyed the article.
