Create blog hubs for your communities

Every newspaper web site should do this: Start a blog about local blogs.

In Bakersfield, we started Bakosphere. After I left, it died (though, I see by a note, it’s been resurrected here … inexplicably, it still doesn’t reside under the wonderful bakosphere.com domain).

If newspaper sites don’t start such blogs, the local TV stations will, as Cory Bergman is proving in Seattle.

Cory’s doing a great job with this blog.

    Talk about full circle, huh, Howard? I started blogging over a year ago, discovered Bakosphere and let you guys know about my blogs, and now here I am relaunching Bakosphere. :)

    BTW, bakosphere.com does redirect to the blog’s Bakersfield.com url.

    Yeah …

    Yes, it redirects, but not the same thing as building a brand called Bakosphere.com.
