I love the energy you bring to such events! I couldn't stick around for the Saturday session... looks like a good time as well. Didn't you and I touch on outside.in? After multiple attempts to register this blog that never went anywhere, I got an official rejection notice yesterday... not "hyperlocal" enough. I replied, respectfully, that I post 2-3 times/week about Burlington, VT neighborhoods. I got a very nice reply from an outside.in staffer promising to take another look and offering a teaser of some new features coming next week. We shall see! Good to see you again too Ruby.

It's true that most of these folks get why local is important in the abstract, but they have spent so many years trying to figure out how to broadcast their messages to masses that many can't REALLY wrap their heads around it. We made a few steps in the right direction in the local blogging session at the unconference (which Arjun attended - hi!). Apparently we inspired at least one new local blog, which will be covering Brooklyn's Chinatown neighborhood! It was good to see you again at PDF, Michael.

Every person with a local focus that I meet LOVES Front Porch Forum... folks close to the ground tend to get it right away. I testified to our city council tonight on an unrelated issue and it was gratifying to look at all 14 members and the Mayor and realize that they all subscribe and make good use of Front Porch Forum.
