The Best and Worst Blogs

Awhile back I came across an article from PC World where they listed their Top 11 Lame Blogs.
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.

Part of uncovering great and interesting sites is to take advantage of finding them no matter where they come from on the web right?
PC Magazine has an article where they are highlighting The Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites.
The editors have broken down their list into the following categories:
- Apps and Services
- Fun and Games
- Health and Science
- Info, Search, and Reference
- Lifestyle
- Money and Real Estate
- Music
- News
- Photo
- Shopping
- Social Networking
- Technology
- Travel and Maps
Every single category is loaded with great, helpful and interesting websites. I’d love to hear what some of your favorites are in each category. Which ones are you using? Which ones should I be immediately saving to my list of bookmarks for future and repeated use?
One thing I’ve been looking for on the article though is a link to a zip file of all the sites that you can quickly load into your favorites. They used to do that on previous articles didn’t they? Or was that PC World’s version of their lists?
Uncover an undiscovered website of your own with PC Magazine.
UPDATE: Here’s the link to download the ZIP file with all the sites.
