Are we now in the post-blog era? Andrew Sullivan, the most well read blogger in history, retired on Friday.

- Doug J, pseudonym used by a Rochesterian who writes for Balloon Juice, a site that attracts 50,000 views a day
- Leonard, also protecting his identity with first name only, who writes for Balloon Juice and his own site analyzing the 25th Congressional District
- Leah Stacy, Nazareth professor who teaches about blogs and modern media
