My New Blog Project: The Best Blogs

My wife shakes her head sometimes over the torrid affair I'm having with blogs. First, it was a technology blog. Then I needed a blog to rant about Toronto, and now my newest time-consuming creation: The Best Blogs blog. The concept, which stems from my frustration with blog search engines, is focused on building a database of the best blogs - something along the lines of the early days of Yahoo when a team of editors manually created a Web site library. I haven't nailed down the exact methodology yet but The Best Blogs won't be based on the most links or most hits but rather their quality. How do I define “quality”? I'm not sure but hopefully you know it when you see it. I'd like to make it a community-based effort so if you've got suggestions, head over The Best Blogs and post a comment.
