Talkin’ about KnoxvilleTalks.com
We’ve had some nice mentions in our first few days live, including shout outs from:
WBIR-TV in Knoxville (owned, like The Tennessean, by Gannett) has jumped into the blog aggregation business with a new site, KnoxvilleTalks.com. In Nashville, WKRN-TV runs a similar site, NashvilleIsTalking.com.
The basic idea is to have one or two people monitoring local blogs and pulling the most interesting posts into one big blog party. WBIR’s online producer and newsroom blogger Katie Allison Granju is overseeing the new site, which launched this week.
It’s just about the most damned skippy thing I’ve seen in awhile.
Welcome to the Tennessee blogosphere, Knoxville Talks. I really like it.
Kudos to WBIR.
There’s a new metablog on the block, via WBIR-TV and Katie Allison Granju, titled KnoxvilleTalks.com.
I like them already … especially since this humble yet lovable blog is featured in their blogroll.
Thanks, Katie. I’ll add a link on my blogroll too. We internets folk is friendly that way.
Katie Allison Granju and WBIR are up to something new.
Nashville is Talking (the inspiration for KnoxvilleTalks.com)
It has always pestered the fire out of me that East Tennessee is the cradle of blogging in this State but the Nashville blogosphere (which, with a few noteworthy exceptions, is mediocre by comparison) got all of the attention because of the now all-but-dead Nashville is Talking. Because of Knoxville Talks, East Tennessee may soon be recognized as the heart of blogdom in this State that we know we are.
And The Vol Abroad, who said of us: “When it comes to blogging, does Knoxville ever shut up?”
