WSJ: TAXPROF BLOG A 'MUST-READ' BLOG

November 16, 2005

The Wall Street Journal ($) names the TaxProf Blog a "must read":

The TaxProf Blog compiles the latest tax-news articles, legislation, academic papers and updates from other tax blogs. Launched last year -- on April 15 -- by University of Cincinnati College of Law Professor Paul L. Caron, the site has gained a wide following among tax professionals, academics and policy-makers. It contains links to state, federal and international tax information and even has a section called "Celebrity Tax Lore" which links to stories on the "tax issues of the rich and famous," says Mr. Caron, as well as other tax-related trivia and cartoons. A recent posting, for instance, links to articles about teenage golfer Michelle Wie receiving her first tax form.

While the Journal is dead right about the TaxProf, I'll quibble with them also naming the TaxAnalysts free site as a "must-read blog." Must read, perhaps, but it's no blog. It is merely shorter versions of articles run in its subscription-only news service.

Tax Analysts briefly had a blog, but they abandoned the experiment after about a week. That is unfortunate. A Tax Analysts group blog featuring the Rabys, Lee Sheppard, Eugene Sterle, Martin Sullivan (to name but a few commentators) and the Tax Analyst reporting staff would be great.

Of course the TaxProf has more.

PS: The TaxProf has enabled comments for his post. If you are so moved, go congratulate him!
