By now, many of you have no doubt noticed that BlogNetNews is no longer accessible. Driving the decision is, of course, money. Dave Mastio, who operated BNN, told me via email last week that the site has been losing enough money of late that it is for sale. In the meantime, it has shut down. He said he may restart it if the economy improves.
The original Virginia political blog aggregator, Waldo’s Virginia Political Blogroll, has remained active throughout. Although I was Virginia editor of BNN, it was at VPL oops VPB that I started my day. Now that it is once again the only game in town (again), I suspect others will be heading there as well.
I was starting wonder.
Now what will the right wingers do if they aren’t allowed to rate each other and throw a party every week over their BNN rankings?

I always thought it was VPB.
Oh, and seconded on The Richmonder’s comment.

Posted by vjp | Monday, July 19, 2010, 8:02 pmWe’ll still party, because we’re still on top until BNN returns or some other ranking shows up.
Posted by Mike | Monday, July 19, 2010, 8:01 pmI never paid any attention to the rankings.
Posted by vjp | Tuesday, July 20, 2010, 12:39 pmI did, but never understood them. I just knew if YankeePhil went to Scout camp, I could move up to number two.
And don’t forget Tom White’s Old Dominion blogs aggregator for more blogs.
