Time Names the Best Blogs of 2009

While Perez Hilton and Gawker have fallen off, Cuban blogger, Yoani Sánchez made the list (although they refer to her as a man) and I can see why she’s on the Best Blog list. The blog is wonderfully written and dishes on what its really like to live in Cuba and even reports on the Havana International Book Fair.

I’m also glad to see some of my favorite blogs on the list as well, it means I’m reading the ‘right’ stuff.
