Internet skepticism has long been dominated by the US, but in the last couple of years, a large continent of skeptics from other countries have emerged. Especially Australia seems to have become prominent in online skepticism. Much of this is due to people like Kylie Sturgess who runs the blog PodBlack Cat.
Kylie Sturgess is an active participant in the both the online and offline skeptical activities: participating in conferences, giving interviews to podcasts and magazines, arranging Perth's Skeptics in the Pub etc. This is of course reflected in her blog, where she will write about these activities, as well as make comments on the broader trends in the skeptic movement (e.g. sexism in the skeptical movement). Having said that, the blog obviously contains much more than that, and should be a daily read for everybody.
When you're at the blog, notice the Essays and Research page, which takes you to links to "blog entries that are more research-based and essay-length". These are great reads.
