While not a directory the web-based RSS aggregator Google Reader
http://www.google.com/reader/ allows one to search for newsfeeds,
blogs, and the like for it to then aggregate. Not really what you
are after, but a different way to discover them.

Technorati is a pretty amazing gateway to blogs: http:// www.technorati.com

My good friend and co-author of the Lucene in Action book, Otis,
began working there recently. He's also the creator of Simpy,
http:// www.simpy.com, a very nicely done bookmarking service.

Hello Dr. McCarty,

If you haven't already come across her site, I would suggest Jill Walker's
jilltxt.net, specifically the following entry categories:

Blog Theorizing:
http://jilltxt.net/index.php?cat=9

Blogs and Teaching
http://jilltxt.net/index.php?cat=15

And her Bloglines feed:
http://www.bloglines.com/public/lijil

I would also recommend her article "Blogging Thoughts", co-written with
Torill Mortensen, in which she discusses the use of blogs as an online
research tool. It can be found at
http://www.intermedia.uio.no/konferanser/skikt-02/docs/Researching_ICTs_in_context-Ch11-Mortensen-Walker.pdf

Finally, she has an older list of research weblogs kept here:
http://huminf.uib.no/~jill/txt/researchblogs.html

Hope this is helpful!
