"Most, but not all, of these sites were created with Tumblr, a dead-simple two-year-old blogging tool that has swung open the publishing industry for anyone with a gift for snark and lots of extra hours to kill. Tumblr includes several stylish themes that obviate the need for designing anything yourself, and it comes prepackaged with templates for different kinds of posts—it makes your photos look different from your videos, which in turn look different from quotes you pull from other sites, etc. In other words, Tumblr lets you create a great-looking blog in two minutes flat."

Very cool Slate article on single-topic blogs (This is why you’re fat, Look at this fucking hipster, etc.)
I’ve always dug community-driven curated blogs like this (probably starting with Cute Overload back when the internet was invented). We’ll be launching some new community blogging tools this week that I’m really excited about.

"We must create incomprehensible things in order to have an analogy for our incomprehension of the universe. Obscure reality to make it more attractive. We must keep secrets, so that others may have the pleasure of uncovering them."

There’s a great free audio recording of the new Chris Anderson book embedded in this article/excerpt. The book has been taking quite a hit lately, from accusations of plagiarism to a negative review by Malcolm Gladwell. The quality of recording, reading, writing, information and thought here is worth your time though.
