Activity 9, Matt Blank

In the search for Urban Blogs, a few stood out to me.

Before I even searched though, I thought about tProxy-Connection: keep-alive

word itself, "blog". What a weird word. I suppose it comes from the word "log" but what is the "B" for? I looked for this information on the internet, and found that it's short for "Web log". Apparently "Wlog" and "Elog" don't have the same ring to it. Now that we put that behind us, my search for other urban blogs of interest.

The first one was http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/, a blog by the NY Times about business and the Economics of Everyday life. This is a fascinating topic to me because it is always relevant. No matter who you are, and what you do, economics are relevant to you.

Then I saw this site, http://www.nycbloggers.com/
This site has the ambitious job of organizing blogs in the city. It currently has over 6000 blogs attached to it. I tried to submit our blog but the site broke. Whoops!

The next one I went to is a friend of mine's blog, http://newyorknightsonline.com/
This blog focuses on the Business and Culture of New York Nightlife. The author recently published a book about the same topic.

This next one was not a blog about Urban life but had a topic about it which I felt deserved honorable mention.

That is the specific link to the article.

Then I was drawn to this blog,
http://midwesternerinnyc.blogspot.com/
Because I felt it had an interesting outsiders perspective, but mostly because I saw the thing about Jimmy Fallon.
