Markos, of Daily Kos, recently posted a frustratingly pompous blog-entry regarding Josh Marshall's latest attempt at fame, TPM Cafe, a play on his current blog, Talking Points Memo. Kos went on to state that now all top progressive bloggers run community blogs. First of all, what about reyonthehill, does it make the list of "top progressive" blogs? Secondly, in the comments section, a contentious debate ensued arguing over what makes up a blog, including a series of rants on whether or not non-community blogs are blogs at all (e.g., Wonkette, reyonthehill). I posted the following comment.



Let me go further with this. Is Salon.com War Room not a blog because it doesn't actively solicit reader opinions? Is Dan Froomkin's blog at the Washington Post not one either? He certainly takes email. Is my blog not a blog? (Is it a good ol' fashioned website?) Is yours?
