Ok we didn’t make it into their list..but it’s worth a quick look.
As they say – 50 new blogs entered the list this year. Most of you who are familiar with the legal blogosphere will recognize all the big names.
It is worth remembering that this is a very US centric list
They write:
50 New Sites Make 2nd Annual ABA Journal Blawg 100
On our second annual list of the best legal blogs, just half of last year’s honorees make a return appearance.
What explains the high turnover? For one thing, every day new legal blogs are started, and some existing blogs—including some that appeared on last year’s list—cease to be updated regularly. Plus, some of the upstart blogs are just plain better than some that made the cut last year.
This year, blogs that aren’t updated at least weekly—no matter how interesting—often didn’t make the grade. We put a premium on blogs that broke news in 2008, or were among the first to provide trenchant analysis of one or more breaking legal news stories. We also gave props to bloggers who made the most of audio and video (in our new podcast category) or social networking applications.
