Left In Lowell

Fellow blog Blue Mass Group gets a mention in a Globe article rather lacking in substance. But hey, any coverage is good coverage!

sco also has a nice critique:

They spent a little too much time, I think, talking about a couple of out-of-state Romney for President blogs. That’s not my real problem with the article, though. The article was headlined “Politicians search for the Web advantage” but very little of it actually focused on what the politicians were doing — there were a couple of paragraphs on the Mass Dems and their Ani-Mitt animations, and the efforts that the state GOP went to earlier this year to snatch up a couple of domain names out from under Attorney General Tom Reilly. The rest of the article focused not on the pols, but on regular people, like the Romney bloggers and the others, who support a particular candidate or political philosophy and want to talk about it. The interesting part of the story was not that politicians are trying to take advantage of the Internet but that concerned citizens are using the web as a way to get involved in the process, completely apart from the political establishments.

Oh yeah. Those little average people out there with something to say. I think the Globe calls those people “uninteresting.”

[Update: Apparently, Beyond 495 and Marry in Massachusetts are also mentioned in another article in the Sentinel & Enterprise. Congrats to them. And thanks to MassMarrier for the flattering picture of my blog…personally, I prefer to stay out of the Lowell Sun…generally speaking. )
