Doug “The Viking” Wiken at the granddaddy, Dakota Today, has a very interesting and very classy post about KELOLAND’s Blogzilla site that features some of us in the local blogosphere.
Doug understands that KELOLAND’s addition of citizen journalists/bloggers to its already information rich site is a watershed event in the South Dakota blogosphere and in local news gathering.
Also, Dakota Today got passed over in the initial selection of sites by KELOLAND. I think this is extremely unfortunate, as Doug brings a lot of understanding about the history of the state, independent thought, and humor to his blog. That he would be this gracious and classy in his analysis when he wasn’t included is a testament to the kind of person Doug is. I hope KELOLAND adds Doug’s blog in the 2.0 version of the project.
So, go read Doug’s post about all this for some independent insight into the project.
