Many of these I've also never heard of. Two I have on my sidebar - one, at the #9 spot, a very recent addition - and I regularly visit...errr, one other. (#4, if you're wondering.) Unfortunately, very few of these look like the sort of blogs I grew up with, the ones that gave us insights into the lives and thoughts of other people - something, as one fellow blogger pointed out, that may have helped to spell the end of the Golden Age of Blogging: learning just what's on other people's minds may have led a lot of blog readers to recoil in horror after a while. In fact, many of these from a distance look like what might have once been called "websites," but in blog form. Still, it's good to see a list like this, and it just might be worthwhile to check out some of the fifty sites listed here to see if they're worth becoming regular reads.
