A good article on what makes a blog really work.

Talk about sublime! 

53% of bloggers are ages 21-35, followed by about 20% of 20 or youngers and 20% of 36-50s. Only 7% of blggers are 51-up -- still that's higher than I had thought. 

An interesting post on a great blog. This post is about trying to charge for free internet space. 

This site is a diving board for people who are homeless to begin using social media. It advocates the use of social media to give these people a voice in a community that is more apt to ignore them.

This blog tells about modern open government issues.
