2006 - the internets
tbt*’s Jay Cridlen rounds up the year 2006 on the internet. He also got quotes from myself and David Banghart of Seminole Heights blog for the sidebar story (scroll almost alla way down). This is what we said:
Tommy Duncan, Sticks of Fire (www.sticksoffire.com): “I’m real excited about the future. Many communities across the nation … already have places on the Web where they discuss their part of the world - what is right, what is wrong, and debate about how to proceed. As with most trends, Tampa Bay is behind the curve, but 2007 offers some hope that more local people will get involved in what is happening in and around our community. And that Time’s Person of the Year - YOU - can have a say in the future of your community.”
David Scott Banghart, Seminole Heights Blog (seminoleheights.blogspot.com): ” 2006 was the beginning of the slow death of unbridled conservatism, locally and nationally. Crist elected, not Gallagher. Democrats in charge in Congress. Rose Ferlita elected to Hillsborough County Commission and Ronda Storms booted upstairs to be lost admist the big boys in Tallahassee. 2007 shall see the gradual return of moderatism.”
So - since YOU are Time Magazine’s person of the year, what do you think the internets will bring this year?

A continued effort to tag everything that moves.
I see a lot more hyperlocal blogs starting. In Lakeland, there are 90,000 residents. By the end of 2007 I expect we’ll have 90,000 hyperlocal blogs. I’ve already purchased “cornerofsouthfloridaaveandlimestreet.com”
