If you’re at all interested in what this blog (along with Jon at BiNS, Nick at Podnosh, Adrian at The Stirrer and others) is trying to achieve you really should put aside half an hour to listen to this interview with Simon St. Laurent who’s been running an ultra-local blog, Living in Dryden, in the States for a number of years.
A lot of what he says rings true with my experiences, especially the notion of taking information that’s already being spread around in emails and word of mouth and widening the scope of the conversation, along with the trials of explaining to people how incredibly easy it all is. If you don’t have half an hour the good stuff in in the first 10 minutes.

Thanks to Jez for the heads up.
