News on Blogs
We’ve criticized the News for characterizing blogs primarily as an efficient new way for kids to advertise their availability to bullies and sexual predators, so it’s only fair to link to their more positive coverage of local online communities.
Several years ago a website was created for vendors of the Farmers market. Vendors were given an opportunity to discuss and to find out what was going on behind the scenes of the market. The site encouraged vendors to participate in commission meetings . However, a few of the long time vendors did not like the site and insisted to the city it was a form of harassment. The lack of respect came from long time vendors in the form of posting vulgarities and threats to the creators of the site. Keep up with the good work you do with your blog. The vendors site will again be up and running before the start of the new season. Cheers to the bloggers!
