Saturation Blogging:
While I've liked Tim Cavanaugh's [note: courtesy link] work for years, I can't believe I dare link to his article, "Let Slip the Blogs of War," an insightful-and-meticulously-linked-up-yet-looong article about the weblogworld's echo chamber. It's a cogent examination of how easy-to-use weblog technology has creates a "million cable news war pundits on a million typewriters" effect on reporting.
Written in devastatingly accurate blogstyle, it (inadvertently?) shows the pressing need for easy-to-use tools for blog editing.
