Blog Tourism
Since Gothamist and Dooce were nominated for the 2005 Bloggies (Weblog awards), I took a look at some of the blogs nominated in other categories and discovered two new "blogospheres" -- an eco-friendly one and a web development one, the latter of which I should be really familiar with, considering current employment.
The best find so far, which I've seen links to a dozen times but never checked out, is Londonist. It's Gothamist, but for London. It's like someone took Gothamist and rewrote it with a British twist for kicks. There are mentions of "adverts" and "parking wardens" (traffic cops), and there's talk of building a stadium for the 2012 Olympics (except, in London). Best of all, there's this bit about the Tube, every word of which could be used to describe our lovely underground equivalent (except for the "happy slapping" stuff, which is just weird).
