Special Report: Best Blogs
by Arik Hesseldahl,
NEW YORK - One of the earliest promises about the World Wide Web was that it would put some of the power of the press back in the hands of regular people. The same people who once wrote thoughtful polemics or commentary on handbills and in pamphlets of limited circulation, or through the occasional letter to a newspaper editor, could, at least in theory, reach the entire Internet-connected world with their ideas.
Some who embraced the Web early went on to become media barons all their own. Personal Web publishing has taken off in fits and starts over the last decade. It used to be that if you couldn't decipher the arcane commands of Hypertext Markup Language, you'd either have to learn it or hire someone who understood and could publish your work for you.
Weblogs, or blogs, have changed that, primarily because they are so easy to use. The method of blogging allows for publication on a whim, when the mood strikes, making the "blogverse," as some like to call it, one of the first places to look for reactions to the happenings of the day, and in specific areas of interest.
As you might expect, there's a good deal of junk to sort through obscuring the pearls. For the range of topics we've selected, ranging from travel and technology to economics and film, we've sought to save you some of the trouble for several topics.
