Hello! ... is there anybody in there?
We receive Google alerts on all the Guilford County Commissioners, which means that if something turns up on the web with the name of someone from this bunch, then it appears in the ol' e-mail inbox.
Today, it was Commissioner Bruce Davis' blog that appeared. Blog? We knew he had a MySpace account, on which he said would post updates on his election stops and other information.
That sound of crickets chirping might be from Davis' old blog fired up in 2005 ... and that's about it.
Obviously, we here at Scoop think that blogs are great. They're far from the end-all and be-all of communication (there is a lot of fuzz out there, we know). But a well-maintained blog can be like Internet gold. Or, at the very least, interesting.
Due to recent automated spamming attacks on our blogs, we are temporarily requiring commenters to authenticate themselves via TypeKey® before posting comments to any News & Record blog in order to prevent denials of service. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
