Greensboro: Harnessing the Power of the Blog
It is fairly well known and understood that the Greensboro NC blogging community is pretty much an evolutionary step above other regional blogging communities. (As evidenced because I can't find a single link that describes it all.) They even meet regularly in person for meetings. Some of our bloggers have taken that extra step to teach blogging to others.
One of the newest and coolest projects the Greensboro bloggers are kicking around is picking a topic and all of the bloggers write on it in their own style from their own point of view.
Check it out. Note that these bloggers are so organized that they have their own forum. Note too that these bloggers clearly understand that there is a difference between a blog and a forum and can use each correctly.
I work in Greensboro and because I teach fencing in Greensboro I end up spending 14 hours a day in Greensboro and 10 in my bed just a mile across the county line in Rockingham County. Its odd that where I hang my hat has distanced me so far from the Greensboro crowd. I am not up on any local politics because I am too far removed physically from any politics greater than our road association. And the only politics there is getting everyone to pay the dues so the dirt roads can be graded twice a year. The school system is alien to me because we have no kids. Sadly my coaching schedule keeps me from most all of the blogger get togethers. I'm here, yet I am so far away from the really exciting Greensboro blogging scene. If you are a blogger in the Greensboro area, and you are not already involved in all of this excitement, I highly recommend you do so right away. This is just too cool to miss.
Some people have all the fun.

So THAT'S why I've yet to meet you at the blogger gatherings. Still, I enjoy your blog, and as a procurer of moving images, your fencing intrigue my inner camera's eye. Maybe we'll do a news story sometime?
As one who lives in High Point and has little interest in the local political scene, I have been but a peripheal member of the Greensboro Blogeratti. truth is I ain't much of a 'joiner', but this ragtag group of thinkers, writers and typists continues to hold my interest. Do join us...
