Speaking of local blogging…Placeblogger’s Lisa Williams

by Matt on Apr 14, 2009 in Blogging

The big NY Times piece on hyperlocal blogs yesterday prompted Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab to repost an old video (as in, about 6 months ago) they did with Placeblogger’s Lisa Williams.

After watching the video myself (and since I’m still waiting for Lisa’s guest blog post … ahem!), I’m prompted to share the video here on HLB. It’s only about four minutes long, so no excuse not to watch. You’ll like it. Good stuff about Lisa’s own local blog, H2Otown, and about local blogging in general.

    Matt: You are posting lots of great stuff. After a mediocre start for a local business blog for one of our businesses we just started to work social media for the business. We will be working twitter, facebook, myspace, etc.

    I’ll keep staying attuned to your news and I’ll keep you aware of how we are doing.

    btw: on one recent blog post that is getting introduced to twitter…a search phrase was responsable for one new lead. We’ve been picking up traffic from blogging…and some relevant traffic that has been turning into leads. Now we are introducing ourselves to the other social media writers and members w/in that metro region.

    Ahhhhh….to be continued….:D

    Good work
