Blog Buzz #1

September 28th, 2009 at 9:23 am

In what might be a good idea (and if it is I’ll keep doing it), I’m going to start rounding up what’s making the Wikio Top 100 blogs the most excited today. I can do this by finding out which blogs and stories in the news are attracting the most interest from political bloggers, then linking to them.

This is actually a bad day to start this, the Blogosphere’s pretty quiet at the moment with the biggest story generating only 4 links.

#4 Cable and Clegg Quit Politics Home Panel

He make think I’m out to get him, but James Graham’s ‘exclusive’ that Clegg and Cable are pulling out of the PoliticsHome panel now that it’s full of Ashcroft money earns him a link from Guido, and some socialists. Not from me though, obviously, because I’m out to get him.

#3 Britblog Round-up

The Britblog round-up is out on ‘Nourishing Obscurity’, always recommended.

#2 Polly Toynbee

Polly Toynbee’s resignation letter for Brown gets the attention of the Heresiarch who writes an absolutely brilliant piece, and  both LfaT and and Tory Bear make her Quote of the Day.

UPDATE: The thing about this is that the picture changes rapidly, so it all depends on what’s going on when I take the snapshot. As it happens, there’s a new big story in town although half the links are going to Guido, the other half to Iain.

#1 Is Brown on Pills?

Guido and Iain Dale both cover the story of Andrew Marr asking Brown, “Are you taking pills” and the evasive shuffling that happened afterwards.
