The Anniversary: The Rise of the Warblogger

Continuing my series on sites to bookmark related to Nine Eleven….

Minutes after the terrorist attacks occured a change swept many weblogs devoted to technology, which changed format and content, as new weblogs came online: all either to bear witness to the events on Nine Eleven, or provide commentary, news and analysis regarding it.

This pissed off many in the old guard. Either upset at the media coverage these sites would come to endear, upset that the sites that changed no longer webloged on technology as much, or changed character entirely, upset that many of the new sites were from the right of the political spectrum. Infact, I think only now, a year later, have weblogs with a left leaning bent, started to assert themselves, gain coverage, and weblog network. We need them. There needs to be a better balance.

These are the sites that come immediately to mind when I think ‘warblogger’:

InstaPundit, Matt Welch (who may have coined the word), KenLayne.com, Jeff Jarvis, Tim Blair, Andrew Sullivan, Eric Olson, lgf, Nick Denton

  1. I like USS Clueless, it’s just… I can’t quite say why… but I don’t think of the site when I think of the word ‘warblogger’.
