Eschaton
4.23.2008
The Summary: Eschaton (atrios' blog) is a staple among progressive blogs. Having been around forever, Atrios has initiated phrases, such as Friedman Units, and events, such as Blog Amnesty Day (which now means the opposite of what he meant by it). Eschaton is big on politics, economics, and media commentary, and its proprietor, Atrios (aka Duncan Black), also works with Media Matters on said topics. Other participants on Eschaton include Echidne, Thers, and Molly Ivors.
The Good: Eschaton is a great way to filter and provide some perspective on the news. Also, some serious economics education is thrown in there from time to time.
The Less Good: Atrios' comments are often short, and his comment section is often long. Sometimes I want more blog to my blog. Also, the site design is...umm...lacking.
Accoutrements: Straight up blog with few frills. Noisy, noisy, noisy comments section. Political, media, economy silliness. Some video (mostly music).
