Ken,

They're very different, IMO. A coherent community of known entities with
common quoting styles, thread management, archives, and so on is one thing.
A bunch of blogs linking to another blog is something else entirely. A
useful thing, without question, and something worth tracking... but far from
"exactly the same".
