Map GIS News Blog for UK, Europe and World Maps is a relatively new general-interest mapping blog with an emphasis on British topics and a really unwieldy name.

GIS Dirtbag is probably the closest thing the mapping blogosphere has to a controversial blog: so far it’s taken the piss out of ESRI, Slashgeo and the “pushpin mapping” that is Google Maps mashups. Lord knows who or what the next target will be, but there usually is a point being made there. (Whether you agree with that point is, of course, another question.)
