My traffic is growing like crazy.<br /><br />Hope you read my blog. www.svg20763.blogspot.com.<br /><br />Anonymous - I'm definately not liberal mainstream press. Do I have my own agenda? I guess you could say my agenda is keeping my neighbors informed and improving quality of life in my neighborhood. Is that so bad?Janis Markopouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196743995165603044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-42395426450124603702009-09-01T14:41:39.422-04:002009-09-01T14:41:39.422-04:00Local blogs have not built a significant voter blo...Local blogs have not built a significant voter bloc following. As much as looking at things positively is an attribute, reality is that many of us log on from different locations, and so three absolutely unique visitors are actually one person.<br /><br />Secondly this item bears repeating; Each time I bring up local blogs when face-to-face with someone, I'm staring into eye rolling and hand waving, with grimaces. No one wants to talk about blogs in person, though we have no problem talking about publishing houses or on-line news sources.<br /><br />Thirdly, bloggers skew things to their agenda as bad or worse than the mainstream press, primarily the liberal mainstream press. It's not reliable news here, and quoting from blogs lowers the source's credibility. Very bad.<br /><br />Lastly, people are too busy. How many can name their local reps is a good question. Latest price quotes are $25,000 to find out, and no less than 400 hits per category are going to be statistically representative. Some estimate 80% cannot name local representatives. <br /><br />People can be interested in local stuff, but blogs won't be the source as long as credibility is a problem at current levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-23984214781397484012009-09-01T11:39:31.730-04:002009-09-01T11:39:31.730-04:00WB,

And we love the way you're not afraid to call people out. <br /><br />We did some calling out of our own last week as you know. C20 Founder David Yungmann participated in a conference call to discuss The Planning Board's inability to issue their recommendation to The County Council. Thank you for writing about it. We were glad to see that it generated a lot of comments, which Yungmann points out in a video we posted last night.
