Jazz Fest is rain or shine! Don’t wimp out. Dave Bruebeck can do it and so can you. Plus just think of it as crowd control and easier parking. Wear a poncho. Its free. The line up is AMAZING.

Google Reader helped me get a grasp on all my news sources. I’ve found a great new workflow with Google Reader that allows me to fly through 60-70 Jacksonville related posts per day. I enjoy using the share functionality for items I don’t have time to post on Urban Jacksonville. You can view my shared items page or subscribe to the RSS feed.
The The Jacksonville Observer launched this weekend. It’s a cool idea but there’s is too much syndicated content for me. I’d love to see more Jacksonville related stories. Tom Patton, who writes for The Jacksonville Observer, talks about the new site.
a business model is emerging up that has local people covering local stories and leaving the big national stories alone. With so many outlets devoted to the big national stories, local coverage sometimes seems to get short shrift. In hyper-local journalism, the marketplace may again be giving us insight as to what people want to read and understand. One might think that’s counter-intuitive on the “worldwide webâ€, and yet it speaks to a readership that is interested in their communities, and have found the web to be a perfect delivery vehicle for that content.
It’s revolutionary for Jacksonville and I commend Austin Cassidy for pulling it together. I have a plan like this too, but I’m laying back for a second to work on some other projects.
JaxScene posts some traffic numbers and reminds everyone they forgot to tell JaxScene happy birthday. Happy birthday on 1-year JaxScene. It’s a feat of dedication and love for the community, we’re lucky to have you.
