Tulsa bloggers on the cover
This week's cover story in Urban Tulsa Weekly is a profile of Tulsa's growing blogging community. The piece features:
Dan Paden's No Blog of Significance
Jeff Shaw's Bounded Rationality, which is celebrating its second anniversary. (Congratulations, Jeff!)
Emily Priddy's Red Fork State of Mind and Indie Tulsa, her husband Ron Warnick's Route 66 News, and their blog about "green" living, the House of the Lifted Lorax.
Irritated Tulsan's Irritated Tulsan
Alternative Tulsan's Alternative Tulsa
Last but not least, Natasha Ball's Tasha Does Tulsa, who regularly puts the lie to the oft-heard whine that "there's nothing to do in Tulsa." There was a very sweet and touching quote from Natasha in the story:
Many local bloggers herald UTW's own Michael Bates' "Batesline" as the gold standard of Tulsa blogging. When Natasha Ball got her first congratulatory comment about her blog from Bates, Ball said, "I was elated. I danced around the living room. I even cried a little. I was star-struck, I guess. I was happy to know I would start to reach more readers, too, since several of the local bloggers with established readerships had told their subscribers about me."
There are many more Tulsa-based bloggers. I wrote about a bunch of them two and a half years ago. Commenters on this week's story have posted links to several more.
It's exciting to see Tulsa's blogging community continue to expand and diversify. The more the merrier!

What are people going to think of me, Michael? What are people going to THINK? Tehe: "I even cried a little." How funny!
What a generous spirit you have - I love seeing successful people promote the success of others. You are the gold standard!
Thanks Michael, this was very interesting. Keep it coming!
