Comparing British Blogs to American

Excellent article from the Times comparing British blogs to their American forebears. Essentially - and as I would have predicted - the British blogs are more upper class than the populism of the Americans'.
A quotation:
"A study of British political blogs carried out by the Hansard Society last year criticised the UK’s main sites for pandering to 'internet connoisseurs rather than ordinary members of the public'."
What characterises Canadian blogs, would you say?

UPDATE: More here, from the left-wing "Guardian" (formerly the Manchester Guardian) about the Right.
