The Guardian is launching it´s new superblog today according to pickledpolitics.com. Rumour has it that they have about 200 bloggers that will write for the blog, among them Jeff Jarvis and Arianna Huffington. I kind of hope that hoder and Salam Pax, who already has been blogging for the Guardian ,will write as well. On my personal wishlist, i would love to see Baheyya or Abu Aardvark.

It will be interesting to follow how it evolves. You could only wish Comment is free, the very best of luck!
