I've been trying to find new blogs / web sites to read recently, as I'm getting bored of the stack I currently have.
Before the Internet (HA!), I use to read quite a few magazines, and if I ever got bored of a magazine I would just peruse the shelves at my local bookstore to see if anything would grab my attention.
More indirectly though, I'd find myself in a waiting room of some sort every now and again (which I think is where magazines go to die), or more commonly be at someone's house, or at a park / beach and see what was lying around.
No such thing seems exists for Internet media, which isn't tainted with monetary intentions (yes I'm even looking at you Google Reader).
I guess the closest equivalent to a public space I can think of is Twitter, or even other blogs, but what kind of blogger would want to advertise another person's blog at the risk of redirecting readership?
