A potentially interesting and useful new regional groupblog project: Metroblogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n event listings to general rants, photos to reviews – metblogs are a hyper-local look at what’s going on in the city. a group of regional bloggers give each site a new perspective on daily life. less calendar listing, more friendly advice.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chicago<\/a>, Los Angeles<\/a>, New York<\/a> and San Francisco<\/a> are live; Atlanta, Boston, DC, Miami, Orange County, Seattle<\/strong>, Dublin, London, Tokyo and Toronto are currently on the ‘coming soon’ list; and they’re looking for local writers.<\/p>\n

Could be good, could be little more than a regional LiveJournal community<\/a> with a set list of contributors (though I hope it grows beyond that). We’ll just have to see as they grow and evolve.<\/p>\n

Back when I lived in Anchorage and was webmaster for the Gig’s Music Theatre<\/a> site, I toyed for a while with creating a similar site for Anchorage, keeping track of events, venues, bands, hangouts, and the like (in fact, there’s actually some slight evidence of the project, in a request for a photo of Anchorage to use for a header graphic in the Schedule\/News section of the Gig’s site). Unfortunately, at the time my technical skills weren’t up to what I had in mind, and the project ended up falling by the wayside. Metroblogging looks to be fairly similar to what I had in mind at the time, so I’m definitely interested in keeping an eye out on this one.<\/p>\n

Years ahead of everybody else, and nobody will ever know. That’s me! ;)<\/p>\n
