Boing Boing is a website, first established as a zine in 1988, later becoming a group blog. Common topics and themes include technology, futurism, science fiction, gadgets, intellectual property, Disney, and left-wing politics. It twice won the Bloggies for Weblog of the Year, in 2004 and 2005. The editors are Mark Frauenfelder, David Pescovitz, Carla Sinclair, and Rob Beschizza,[1] and the publisher is Jason Weisberger.
One report named Boing Boing as the most popular blog in the world until 2006, when Chinese-language blogs became popular,[2][3] and it remained among the most widely linked and cited blogs into the 2010s.[4][5][6]
