The venerable — okay, crusty — community blog has been
around since 1999, an eon in webtime. But it's still one of
the best "you never know what you'll read today"
destinations around. While the typical blog is written by
one person wearing sweatpants reclaimed from the hamper,
Metafilter lets any user — regardless of what they're
wearing — contribute links and brief commentary
highlighting interesting stuff he or she finds on the web.
