For this mention, I think I'll toss Tom Fuller a couple million of my Exxon bucks

Global warming: Helping Oxfam understand the blogosphere

There are huge differences between the organisation 'map' of the skeptic weblog as a single entity and a similar 'map' of supporters of the AGW consensus.

1. The most popular 'skeptic' (a lot of the sites mentioned or referred to in this article are not skeptics, any more than I am, but anti-consensus just takes too much effort) sites are actually referrer sites. The skeptics have Climate Depot which is nothing but an agglomerator with very little comment of its own but links to other stories. Watt's Up With That wouldn't survive without outside contributions, although it exercises a lot more restraint in the number of stories it puts up. These two are supported by other agglomerators, such as Tom Nelson.

I can't think of a single agglomerator on the consensus side. If there is, can someone point me to it?

This is hugely important. The top consensus site is Real Climate, a top-down weblog maintained by climate scientists that are dispensing doctrine. The top skeptic sites are news dispensers of all stories of interest--they are at the center of a web, rather than at the top of a column. All of the dynamics stem from this difference in approach.
