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.
neato!
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.
