Glenn Greenwald:
Atrios is conducting a blog fund-raiser, his first in four years. Of all bloggers, the intensity and importance of the work he does is probably the most under-appreciated. It is incredibly time-consuming and difficult to wade through hundreds of blog posts (if not more) every day and consistently select the ones meriting attention. And he probably does more than any single person to shape and sustain the overall narrative that bloggers are able to promote. Any contribution to his blog is, in my view, one well worth making.

I remember sitting in the media room at the Libby trial with a pretty well known journalist who was trying to wrap his head around the whole "blog" thing. There were too many, he didn't understand what was going on, all the codes and relationships and back-and-forths and how things worked their way through the blogospheric system.
"Just check Atrios every morning," I told him. "He tells us all what we're going to talk about that day, and then we do it." A short while later, I ran into him again. "Now I understand," he said.
