On Thursday's Word of Mouth, we talk with Sarah Boxer, former New York Times media critic and author of Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web. Sarah combed the wide, vast, and often self-referential blogosphere to find the diamonds in the rough. Her book is a collection and explanation of her favorite sites.
One blog that isn't mentioned in Sarah's book just popped up in January, and it's gaining popularity at a startling speed. It's called Stuff White People Like, and it's a hilarious - and sometimes painful - dissection of white, educated, upper-middle-class culture. The site is featured on this week's Very Short List, and VSL's Sara Vilkomerson joins us to talk about it.
