Dan Gillmor's Bayosphere premiers, and in local news the Inquirer starts a blog!
I like the name and of course I like the concept :) Check out Bayosphere | Of, by and for the Bay Area.
At Bayosphere, we're going to create a community fueled by that notion. We will reflect -- and reflect on -- the news, needs and ideas of the Bay Area and especially the technology sphere that is the prime economic driver of the area.
Folks - it's the "of, by and for" that is key and what makes this so important.
I truly believe old fashioned top down "push" media is going to be pummeled by participatory on demand media. You can count on it. Efforts like Bayosphere will help point the way.
Congrats Dan!
Speaking of leading the way, take a look at my old friends at Philly.com today! There be blogs here!
The Inquirer's Daniel Rubin has launched "Blinq" and joins Daily News's Will Bunch’s "Attytood" as two local journalist blogs that really *are* two local journalist blogs. Sad to say that the efforts I've seen from other newspapers just don’t feel like blogs to me. Too much sameness, not enough off site linkage, not enough personal voice or openness. I'm looking forward to seeing where Blinq goes.
Common PhillyBurbs, Philadelphia Weekly, City Paper - hop right in while the water's warm.
