BLOGS THAT KEEP ME READING

Lots of us have heard or even said things like:
"We could make a blog better than boingboing"
"The average post on digg.com is so elementary, I should be the arbiter of cool"
"I don't want to blog on my own, but I'd join a group one if someone made one"
Whether it's a clever NLP project, a fresh take on quality of information, awesome usability findings, or anything else, your peers want to read about "stuff that is cool".
