An Open Letter to Mike Boon

Fellow Toronto blogger Mike Boon, recently wrote a post [look at August 29th, 2005] regarding the lack of quality blog in Toronto. I would permalink to his posts, but Mike doesn’t seem to have any proper permalinks available on his site, nevermind the lack of comments, which is a pitty especially in terms of a post like this one where reader feedback would be a nice inclusion to the post.

He goes on and lists a number of sites that he frequents. I think he has left out a lot of quality blogs from this city. For the purpose of this list, I am not going to include any photoblogs. Perhaps I will write another post that rounds them up.


I am going to place a disclaimer here, I am sure while compiling this list I will probably unintentionally forget someone. There will also be a huge variety of quality blogs representing the T dot.

    Thanks for the round-up Rannie. I haven’t visited too many of these but I’ll definitely be going back to many of them.

    I visits tones of photoblogs, but few blogs. I’ve liked Blog TO and Editor: Myself so far

    Hey PJ,
    Thanks for the linkup. I realize our Toronto Metroblog isn’t really the best one around, but we try and hold our own. We could use some dedicated posters to help improve, if anyone is interested, they can apply within.

    Mike I would have included Foxymoron, but she is living in Hong Kong at the moment.

    Thanks for the shout-out Rannie!

    I think I know this Mike Boob guy, he’s the one who dreams of making love to Howard Glassman. This guy spurns his wife’s advances and tells her ‘I can’t make love to you, you don’t look like Humble.”
