One thing that jumps out at me is that #1 is youtube (which I don't know if that is "mass produced" content being linked to, or individuals) Also, #2 is NYT.

Also, #2 is NYT. NYT has some solid blogs, like the Freakonomics blog, and many of their better articles are not necessarily news - they are often op-ed pieces with facts sprinkled in.
My point being that I think the domains being linked to do provide some interesting discussion material, but I'd also wager that much of the content being linked to is more discussion in nature, rather than factual. I think that is also interesting in some ways - that we're moving away from news for news sake, and more towards opinions and analysis.
- rjprins 18y agoThat is an interesting observation! If you realize we come from non- or low-interactional media like newspapers and tv channels, you could say society has been low in discussion because of media limits. And the internet resolves this, giving people the freedom to focus more on what really matters to them: opinions and analysis.
