One-Stop Shopping for Blawgs: A Taxonomy of Legal Blogs
Ian Best, whom I first wrote about here, e-mailed me this week to let me know his Taxonomy of Legal Blogs is complete.
Ian has compiled a fantastic list that I know I’ll be turning to many times:
I. General BlogsAdvice for Lawyers and Law FirmsGeneral Legal BlogsGeneral Blogs — Law and Culture, Economics, Politics, etc.
II. Blogs Categorized by Legal SpecialtySpecialty BlogsIII. Blogs Categorized by Law or Legal EventCase BlogsStatute BlogsTrial BlogsIV.

Aside from his actual taxonomy, he seems to have the blogging thing down. Ian has a page dedicated exclusively to responses to criticism. And he has dedicated pages requesting reader feedback on Organizational Method, Categories, Legal Blogs and General Comments and Questions.
Please check out his site.
I thought “Blawgs” were chronological internet diaries in the state of Georgia.
Ike,
I see you haven’t lost your sense of humor
