Surfing static pages on the web is perhaps not the best
source for current information. To get the latest and greatest,
check out the blogs of translators, localizers, and others in the
globalization industry. It's an exercise in non-linear thinking, but thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating.
Here are a few to get you started. My thanks to the
Enigmatic Mermaid (formerly pombostrans.blogspot.com) for the wake-up call!

What are people saying about blogs and bloggers?
Try:

It's not about language blogs, just blogs in general and their impact on journalism,
but I liked the article and heck anything that references Star Trek's Borg (or Seven of Nine) is good for me!
