This one is especially for hartree: The Agonist, a weblog that monitors an insane number of media outlets and posts it all in real-time in digestible form.

Also, here’s quite an amazing weblog, posted directly from Baghdad by an Iraqi citizen (in English): Where is Raed?

Also, Technorati is a great tool that scans the blogosphere for what news items are getting the most buzz then gathers it all together in one place, with context from the individual blogs.

I’ve also picked up a few new blog habits, not necessarily war-related:

I first came across Todd Morman in the Independent (the Raleigh-Durham alternative weekly) and later the late, unlamented Spectator. His commentary on the Triangle media and media in general is on target, in my opinion. He’s a big ol’ fag, and as much of a lefty as I am. He’s got a great weblog of his own now: Money Media Report.

Also from the Indy (and alt.music.chapel-hill) is Ruby Sinreich, a well-spoken and intelligent progressive activist. Her blog is Ruby’s Rants and Randomness.

Techdirt has some good commentary and pointers to technology blurbs. I like this one.

Click away, kids!
