A peer-reviewed blog journal?

In A Blog Around The Clock : Two Cultures, Coturnix writes about his surprise that the humanities seem more reluctant to experiment with peer-review systems than the scientific community. Coturnix describes his experiences of selecting posts for blog "carnivals" (themed collections of posts on one blog by various authors), and suggests that a peer-reviewed online blog-journal is the next logical step, or as he puts it: "I'd love to see publication of blogging anthologies collecting the best annual output by medical, environmental, education and humanities bloggers."

Paolo Massa has collected some links to articles with a similar theme.
