Before I had MeFi, there was this one MSNBC.com blog ...

Before I discovered MetaFilter, my go-to site for a collection of interesting Web links was a blog on MSNBC.com. I can't remember the name of it, nor its curator (who discontinued the blog some years ago). Does anyone remember this blog or its author's name?

Yeah. Has to be MeFi's own Gael ;) Pop Culture Junk Mail.

Oneswellfoop also had a blog there for years as well but I don't recall whether or not is was linky. It was called Wendell Wit I think.

Best answer: Was it Clicked? Looks like it began in 2002 on nbc.com.

"Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

OK, this is it, Clicked is officially moving to http://Clicked.MSNBC.MSN.com.

Then Clicked disappeared. I miss it.
