TBT Blog year review

Jay Cridlin of the TBT did a year in review of the blogosphere "'we're focusing on the year in online culture. We can think of no better time capsule than a snapshot of the news, videos, fads and trends that hit the Web in 2006."

As part of this he interviewed several national blog figures and two from Tampa.  Tommy of Sticks of Fire and myself.

I said "" 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."

Actually that was one of 4 things I said.  I sent them several quotes to pick from: Here they ares:

Quote #1
Candid Camera 2006 style.  Between cell phone cameras, YouTube videos, blogs and online access to newspapers, news is no longer a corporate served box lunch, but rather a buffet where I pick what I want and how much of it.

I find a short article in the my local news about some event elsewhere, read that area's newspapers more in-depth coverage, watch a unedited raw video of the story, and first hand accounts in the area blogs.

Quote#2
In 2006 citizens revolt with pitchforks and torches over high Property Taxes and Insurance. 2007 may see the burning at the stake of politicians who don't deal with the issues satisfactorily.

Quote#3
2006 was notable for people behaving badly, blaming their alcohol. 2007 will be notable for people behaving badly, blaming their alcohol use. Perhaps we ought to get send all public figures and celebrities in advance to the Betty Ford clinic so we can be spared their boorish behavior later.
