In Praise of "Overheard in New York"
The site's not new, but some of the appreciation for it is. Long-time favorite Overheard in New York (the content there isn't always safe for work) has always been a blog that gets attention. But the Movable Type-powered site full of "only in New York" quotes has never had its appeal explained so succinctly as in this new piece in Slate. Sam Anderson's distilled the site to its entertaining core, and it's a good understanding of what makes one extremely successful blog tick.
