| | MetaFilter.com: a great weblog | csmonitor.com |
 | | MetaFilter is one of the sometimes confusing class of sites known as 'weblogs.' In the original sense of the word, a weblog is a regularly updated collection of found links, commentaries, and personal reflections, maintained by a single person. |
 | | Fortunately, MetaFilter falls into the first category, with the distinction that contributions are not made by a single person - this blog has more than 12,000 contributors, and when it comes to scouring the Web, numbers matter. |
 | | MetaFilter claims that its topic "tend to run intelligent and civil," and that's largely the case with both the topics and the Comments pages - however there are lapses, and from time to time, language enters the realm of PG-13, and Comments contributors abandon the discussion for personal attacks. |
