Few things are really new on the Tacoma blogosphere. There is alot of taking ideas and hopefully improving on them.

Using the same headline as other post showing up on FeedTacoma. Not a big fan, myself. I also prefer even if someone's posting something like a single photo that there be some kind of description accompanying it. This will help folks that visit the FT homepage know better what they get when they click.

I agree. I had one originally but it differentiated the post from the other "Picture of the Day." Oh well.

Well, it is a way to create the illusion of having content when really none exists.

those are fighting words!

The Volcano has been a great supporter of Tacoma, Feed Tacoma, and the Chalk Offs generally. Perhaps we should give them a little latitude.

Plus, "Photo of the Day" promises nothing more than a photo. Although, I am not sure how much it then adds to have "Flickr post of the day" in addition to their other picture post.

by morgan
on 5/28/2008 @ 8:59pm		For the record, I have nothing against the Volcano. They add a unique voice to Tacoma that isn't found in other media. But I fail to see the value in posting a seemlingly random image with no context or comment. Where's the value in that? My challenge is to dig deeper.

I'm in a stinky mood, ain't I?
