Let's take the pulse of Toronto's blogosphere. I'm breaking blogs into three categories: best independent blog, best professional/media blog and best Toronto Mike blog. That last one is a little biased, so we'll start with it.
Here are five blogs I'd like to recognize because they're run by frequent commenters on this blog, torontomike.com, or by friends of yours truly.

Here are five blogs that I believe to be one-man-shows. They're independent and written and maintained by a single person, just like this blog you're reading right now.

Here are five blogs I read, even though the writers are paid by large media empires (or small independent organizations) to write 'em.

I've always felt this city was under served by the blogosphere. We deserve better blogs. Please start the next great Toronto blog.
