I'm a little late to this, by Ben Thompson, but it is exactly what I think too:

“Most of what I read is the best there is to read on any given subject. The trash is few and far between, and the average equally rare.

This, of course, is made possible by the Internet. No longer are my reading choices constrained by time and especially place. Why should I pick up the Wisconsin State Journal – or the Taipei Times – when I can read Nate Silver, Ezra Klein, Bill Simmons, and the myriad other links served up by Twitter? I, and everyone else interested in news, politics, or sports, can read the best with less effort – and cost – than it ever took to read the merely average just a few short years ago.”

It's great to see these 'personality-driven sites', as Thompson calls them, springing up more and more. One of my first ports of call in the morning are to check Marco Arment and John Gruber's personal sites, because I want to hear their personal opinions, not just get 'tech' news. The sustainability of that personal site model, though, appears to be under threat in the light of Arment's recent sponsorship revelations.

I only wish that John Siracusa would write more...
