The Corner

It was never one of my favorite blogs, but now it is becoming almost impossible to read. I know they think they are clever and funny with the pitches for Legacy, etc., but that has become so repetitive that it is tiresome.

The only reason i keep checking them out is that so many other blogs are down due to the DoS attacks at Hosting Matters.

And come to think of it The Corner is completely uninterested in that subject as is the rest of the traditional media. UBL supporters using DoS to take down sites they disagree with-- it's a non-story.

UPDATE: Justin Katz comments over at Dust in the Light:

the promotions for books and other goods have become absolutely ridiculous, to the point of mocking the central illusion of blogs — that the reader is raised in standing in the interaction. It's like being invited to a private dinner party for an author who proceeds to pitch his book after every other mouthful.

Which made me think that the Corner is to blogs what a Tupperware party is to a real party.
