Hello, I'm Greg Knauss, and welcome to the next stop on the "Rainy Day Fun and Games for Toddler and Total Bastard" virtual book tour.
Even picking among the most popular or well-written sites there was still such a shameless willingness to whore out space and bandwidth in exchange for hipster cred and a respite, however brief, from their own mind-numbing tedium that we were able to map out a formidable list in minutes.
Credit where it's due, it was entirely Ben's suggestion that we only visit a few sites, knowing that our selective tour stops would inevitably spark another stupid A-list discussion, bringing the End of Weblogs that much closer.
