Where we blog about

Ethan Zuckerman has published the initial results of the alpha version of a project he's started, and it's pretty damn interesting. He's scraping NY Times articles and then checking which ones are being linked to in blogs. The raw results are depressingly unsurprising: We blog about the US, then about the US, with occasional digressions about the US.

Well, if you are seriously posting about something foreign, wouldn't you link to a foreign news source? Especially as the foreign coverage in the NYT is so spotty anyway?

I just shook my head and laughed when I read this. This is news? We already know it's all about US! Sigh.

Sounds about right to me, along the lines of: We talk about ourselves, then about ourselves, with occasional digressions
about ourselves.

From this, he makes a living?
