The godfather of blogging

I'm sure most people have seen it by now, but if not Johann Hari's profile of Andrew Sullivan is a fascinating look at one of the most influential writers, and likely the most influential blogger, in America. Hari charts Sullivan's life from his youth as a lonely Thatcher supporter in Northern England, through to his days at Harvard, TNR and his great success as one of the founders of blogging. Hari is charitable some respects to Sullivan's point of view, but there is no doubt that the man set the stage for the proliferation of blogs as real journalism and has really been at the center of the blogosphere from the start.
