blogs rule

bill rappleye

scoff at the internet if you will…but you’ll be missing out.  remember the story about linc chafee leaving the republican party?  well, that was broken in the blogosphere.  anchor rising was the first with that story http://www.anchorrising.com/  quickly picked up by ri report by http://www.rireport.com/  and blogs are good about telling you where their info comes from…so rifuture http://www.rifuture.org/ was quick to give credit out…and all this happened before the providence journal ever went to print.  so skip the web, and you’ll probably be behind the times.
i’m going to use this site to point out interesting stuff… i and my massive staff of surfing trolls who are constantly on the ‘net…  but those three sites i just mentioned are probably the cream of the local crop…though you’ll also want to check out ian donnis’ blog at the phoenix…not for nothing http://thephoenix.com/notfornothing/  there’s lots more, and i’ll be highlighting good stuff off them in posts to come.
