Interviewed on Sixth Man Marketing

by Matt on Mar 16, 2009 in Interviews

Ed Reese, a fellow Washingtonian who I met about a year ago and saw again at the Searchfest conference in Portland last week, recently did a short interview with yours truly about hyperlocal blogging. In it, I share a list of five benefits of local blogging, tell the never-before-told Kanye West story, and answer Ed’s question about what industries might be best suited for local blogging:

“I think it’s more about the individual and the approach than the industry you’re in. We all care about where we live, and if you remember that you’re writing a local blog — as opposed to a real estate blog, a restaurant blog, a plumbing blog, etc. — you can make it work.”

Here’s the full interview: Hyperlocal Blogging: Q&A with Matt McGee

Thx for the chance to speak with you, Ed!
