From Kim Kardashian to Wal-mart, PC World doesn’t pull any punches on their critiques of these 11 blogs. Be sure and go read what they say about them so you can either be sure to surf away from them, or like a wreck on the interstate perhaps even look closer!

If you’re a blogger yourself you can take PC World’s comments as a way to improve your own blog’s performance and readership.

Maybe you’d like to avoid the messes altogether though and just laser target your surfing habits to some really great blogs. If that’s the case, Blog World Expo has just released their list of finalists for the 2008 Weblog Awards.

The Weblog Awards finalists are grouped into categories like Best Individual Blogger, Best Humor Blog, Best Liberal Blog or Best Conservative Blog. They’ve even got best blogs listed for a variety of geographic areas and regions.

I’m sure there’s at least one, if not a dozen blogs that would capture your interest as a reader.

It’s not much to look at, but it’s hilarious to read through the site and hear the statements taken out of context that people have overheard.

The site was developed by Mark Jaquith one late night at the b5ranch during SXSW 2008. There was an ongoing joke where various people would say things that were funny through the week and we’d keep repeating them. The best is when the statement had some additional meeting when you removed the contextual statements surrounding what was said.

The wasoverheard site works in conjunction with twitter. All you have to do is follow @wasoverheard on your twitter account. Then, when you hear someone say something funny, you just tweet it to @wasoverheard anonymously.

So, your twitter udpate would look something like:

d wasoverheard @bnpositive I hear funny people

If you don’t include the person’s twitter name the statement will be attributed to “someone”.

If you find someone really interesting that always seems to put their foot in their mouth you can see all of their statements by entering their twitter name as a sub-domain path:

• http://sheaj12.wasoverheard.com
• http://technosailor.wasoverheard.com
• http://jeremywright.wasoverheard.com
• http://scobleizier.wasoverheard.com

These things are always more interesting when you’re with a bunch of friends that also twitter. You know, at things like conferences. Hopefully we’ll see a lot more action on the site during Blog World Expo next week.
