It makes for something that doesn't pretend to be a blog; nowhere on your site does it even say "blog," because it's really just a chronological listing of factual accounts of the events of the day. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is, and so it's a great resource for anybody looking to keep up with local business news. I’m totally down with straight news—I think it’s great.

I don't think enough people know about it. http://www.cvillechamber.com/business_news Running since 2004, It is straight news, no commentary or witty little stories, but it's not boring either and at least provides a running view of individual business activity in our community. I'd love for more of our Chamber member enterprises to provide me with their business news. Hey Waldo,

Perhaps the other blogs are mediocre compared to the superior Jim and Brian blogs? OK I live in fear my blawg (coming soon) will not be interesting so I suppose I will learn something if I attend this seminar of yours.

But I'll be damned if Richmond is "Central Virginia." I don't know what in the world those people are thinking. You can't go much farther east from Richmond without falling into the ocean. That sure ain't "central."

How can several areas of the state of Virginia call themselves Central Vitginia accurately?

Lynchburg has ALWAYS been called Central Virginia. How can Charlottesville be Central Virginia also? Geographically the center of the state is around Farmvile. Is Priince Edward County Central Virginia too ? Where IS the mythical Central Virginia? How can several areas of the state of Virginia call themselves Central Vitginia accurately?

While any approach would have it drawbacks, if there were a thousand blogs (this is entirely possible, I think) in our area it might be nice to know which ones on average were promoted or demoted by the community. My inclination in these situations is to leverage the social network of users already in place. People will demote puffery pretty quickly.
