Vanity Fair has created a ‘blogopticon‘ mapping out what it considers to be the most influential (US-based) bloggers.

Divided by a vertical axis stretching from ‘news’ to ‘opinion’ and a horizontal ranging from ‘scurrilous’ to ‘earnest’, 75 blogs are featured.

Sites such as Wonkette, TMZ and ValleyWag are included with descriptions of each provided as you scroll over.
