Brooklyn Blogs
When Outside.in, that new local website aggregator project, posted their list of the 10 Bloggiest Neighborhoods, I was a bit suprised that only the Brooklyn neighborhood of Clinton Hill made list. I mean, Brooklyn has all the ingredients for what we might think would make a vibrant local blogosphere -- a literate, wired, and dense collection of humans in an area that has both rich histories and is undergoing a good deal of rapid change. And then there's the hard evidence, any number of fantastic Brooklyn-based and focused blogs; off of the top of my head, there's Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn, Gowanus Lounge...okay, that's only two, but they're both really good and there's for sure plenty more. As it turns out, according to the rules of the "bloggiest neighborhoods" compilation process as explained by the New York Times, only one hood from Brooklyn could be named to the list. Ahh, that explains it...

Bloggy and bloggable Brooklyn is, for sure. So I'm particularly looking forward to the Brooklyn Blog Fest on Thursday night at the historic Old Stone House on 5th Avenue and 3rd Street here in Park Slope. There will be Brooklyn bloggers and there will be margaritas, and that sounds great to me.
