LA MEME CHOSE - SIMPLY THE BEST

One of my favorite denizens of the blawgosphere — the continually-anonymous Editor-n-Chef of the never-dull Blawg Review —  has come up with yet another brilliant viral marketing scheme.

He's created "Simply the Best" -- a "meme" (I didn't know what that was until this morning). The idea is a variation of those chain letters that promise that your ring finger will fall off if you don't mail the letter to 57 of your closest friends within 10 minutes. But this one is MUCH more fun. He "tags" 10 blawgs as his favorites, and then asks each author to do the same on his or her blog, and so on, and so forth.  Of course, it NEVER hurts to appeal to all of our egos, as this sort of effort clearly does :)

I was absolutely thrilled when one of my favorite bloggers, J. Craig Williams, cited da Scold on his wonderful list . Thank you!

The danger, of course, is how do you only pick 10 when there are so many terrific blawgs out there????? Well, first, I automatically apologize to anyone I left out. Second, I'm going to do this a la` Malcolm Gladwell's Blink, i.e., I'm just going to DO it on first instincts.
So here goes (in no particular order):

• Robert Ambrogi's LawSites (Nobody knows Web 3.0/4.0/5.0 better than Bob).
• May It Please the Court (J. Craig Williams' always amazing site.)
• Where's Travis McGee (Bradley Parker, who is posting fascinating and poignant dispatches from Afghanistan about his JAG work).
• Anything John Tredennick writes, including the ABA's Law Technology Today (OK, technically not a blog, so sue me.)
• K&L Gates' Electronic Discovery Law  (One of the first EDD blogs and terrific)
• Al Nye the Lawyer Guy (soooo New England)
• Overlawyered (Never disappoints.)
• Larry Bodine (is there anyone he doesn't know?)
• Ernie the Attorney (the soul of New Orleans)
• Sports Law Blog (Did you have any doubt about that one?)
