Earthling

Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.

In an effort to expand our reading horizons, yours and mine, I'm offering a poll wherein I'd like you to look at two blogs of my choosing, and vote for the one you think you're more likely to visit again. The winning blog will also earn a limited run in my "recommended sites" list on the right.

Today's combatants are the Official LAPD Blog (yes, that's Los Angeles Police Department) and "What's That Bug", which answers a reader e-mail each day asking them to identify an insect. Note: WTB is gone fishin' until mid-June, but you can scroll through their past work to get a sense of what they do.

Please familiarize yourself with each combatant and then vote below:

There are no real losers here, and I'm only picking blogs I like for the battles. I'm leaning towards finding unique types of content that are well-suited to being updated daily.

If you know of a smallish or not-well-known blog you'd like me to feature in a future Battle of the Blogs, please send me an e-mail. I'm always on the lookout for good stuff.
