I had a note come out of the blue the other day from MT.Net reader number 12. Jay introduced himself, saying he read my blog and was interested in learning more about the area.
I gave him the scoop on the area, then thought later how cool it is that my blog could act as some sort of ambassador. In a larger sense, blogs are like the fabled hometown newspaper, telling the local story the way that newspapers used to do. Now that so many papers opt to carry nothing but wire stories, you can’t get a feel for the local scene. Blogs help to fill that gap.
I just wish that Localfeeds was up and running again so there’d be a centralized place for this local news.
