This is a useful and funny grid. I liked it since the first time I saw it in NY Mag: nymag.com/arts/all/approvalmatrix/46796/ Does that make me earnest or scurrilous?

I knew we should have put the Daily Intelligencer on this thing! In seriousness, though, I think the whole charticle concept had entered the public domain long before the admittedly wonderful Approval Matrix made its debut.

I'm not exactly sure how accruate it is, but this a very cool chart. Good job.

Michelle Malkin, earnest?!?!?

WOW you ubergeeks are soooo web savvy. But OH! wait ... How Long ago did AMANDA leave ROCKETBOOM

I'm sorry, this is kinda pathetic. The NYMag feature this apes/(mocks?) was already a too too borrowing in snarky graphic design-meets-editorial-content-with-tiny-pictures from Spy, and this adds little ("what if it were about blogs!?") and does so too tamely and too late. Graydon Carter is truly a tapeworm consuming his own tail. Ew.

You've got most of my favorite bloggers listed but where in the world is James Wolcott? You know, the scalpel of society posing as a columnist for Vanity Fair?

Gee no African American focused websites??? Could it be, that VF forgets about minorities yet again. BTW if you do choose to politically correctify your list, try adding mediatakeout.com - it's my guilty pleasure in life (aside from Coldstone Ice Cream)

Cool idea - would like to see same approach to other genres, too

Wonderful to see Global Voices Online included! As an author for the site, I believe it's one of the best things on the web. Of course, I'm biased.

The blogopticon is sorely predictable. Where's new sites like miller-mccune? http://www.miller-mccune.com

Where is feministing.com!!!????

citizensugar.com is one of the few sites i could see sitting smack dab in the middle of this scatterplot. you'd be surprised, but it's full of liberals and conservatives... actually having a discussion... AMAZING! hopefully this graphic can be updated with all of the suggestions of commenters here.

VF is remiss in not adding TV Talk, its a great radio and podcast about TV. Shaun OMac is the one that started the nuts campaign for Jericho. blogtalkradio.com/shaunomacradio

This is brilliant. One problem though, Michelle "Panic at the Dunkin Donuts!" Malkin be anywhere in the "earnest" category. She is all the way scurrilous.

MediaMatters under News! You've got to be kidding! Should be at the extreme lower left quadrant. You can't get much more biased than that blog, except for maybe HoffPo.

The authors of this chart neglected to include Plabnox Cures, the funniest & most original blog on the web. http://plablognox.blogspot.com We at Plabnox are not strangers to the chart format, except we put it to better use as a cat naming guide http://plablognox.blogspot.com/2008/06/plabnoxs-guide-to-naming-cat.html

Way cool!

newsbusters link is wrong. yay: newsbusters.org nay: newsbusters.com

that list loses serious credibility for not having kotaku and engadget
