THE CLICK CLIQUES OF THE BLOGOSPHERE

The Click Cliques.

You know what they are - and who they are. The blogs that another blogger always links to is her Click Clique.

You know, like how Glenn always links to McCardle, Althouse, Volokh, Surber, Vodkapundit, well - anything PJ.

I think this propensity makes a blog boring: one comes to expect certain links are gonna be there. And when this is coupled with repetitive blogging style - like always having a post titled DUDE or always having a sarcastic tone to a title like by starting off with the word GREAT when something bad happens - is also boring.

I try to mix it up. I try to link to different blogs, and also I try to link to news items before the big blogs do and to news outlets the big bloggers ignore; (they're usually foreign).

But maybe having boring and repetitive links and titles is better; after all, some of the biggest blogs are guilty of both offenses everyday.

Well, if you have an interesting blog nobody links to - or some interesting news-sites - let me know in the comments.

Thanks.
