Our Western Shore Connection has closed down his Blog Site. It seems to be a trend lately. Delmarva Dealings has failed to keep his Site going as well. Some of it is based on time. Some of it is based on finances.
The Anti Albero Blogs have pretty much disappeared as well. There's one or two stragglers lying around but they've pretty much died out and even I have decided to refuse to visit their Sites any more and I removed their links from my computer.
Less selection means more work. There were some complaints about yesterday being a slow day on sbynews. I wanted the Mayor Post to get all the mileage it could get and what made it great, (take notes Barrie) we surpassed our best day by 2 additional visitors, that's how close it was!
So the same people keep coming back on a regular basis. I crack up whenever I hear certain people say they'll never come back, yet the numbers stay the same. A perfect example is the Fire Department. It doesn't matter if I have a story up about them or not. The exact same amount of Fire Fighters come here each and every day. How do I know? Because the numbers are so close each and every day it's scary. After all this time, it's no coincidence.
Hopefully we'll see some new Blogs come into the area to replace some of the quality ones that have disappeared? Perhaps, (if you're a good writer) you may want to join forces. That being said, if you're interested in co writing pieces that interest you, drop me a note and let's see what we can work out. It's time to expand sbynews and give The Daily Times a run for their money.
Hopefully Kenny Burns, (Maryland Politics Today) is just too busy with his education right now.
Hate to see Kenny go (GA -- "Cato", too).
ReplyDeleteJoe: Please keep the focus on local -- Salisbury/Wicomico. There are plenty who do state & national, and our local mainsteam media (TV & Daily Times) is mostly a No-show), plus Bill Reddish on WICO seems to be tightly muzzled these days.
Your expose of Barrie's bottled water BS was boffo!
Maryland polotics are shut down everyday! If you think justice is blind, so is Norman Conway!
