Ten Blogs You Should Know
Because so many blogs are floating about in the blogosphere, you can’t possibly read them all. In the beginning, only a handful of blogs were known well enough to attract solid audiences. A few short years later, well over 100 million different blogs exist, and each one attracts its own audience. This book makes reference to a number of blogs, but there’s always room for more.
