Vancouver Blog Wars: Attack of the Blogs

Thanksfully the Vancouver Blogosphere seems to be heating up. Today while we were visiting the lovely Jennifer Good, we came across someone in her comments section talking about thier new Vancouver blog and asking her to be a part of it (Don't do it. Seriously let's just let Jennifer be Jennifer okay - like a public good we all can enjoy).

Anyway, the Vancouver version of a large blogging group MetroBlogging is setting up shop soon. They claim to be, " the largest and fastest growing network of city-specific blogs on the Web. From San Francisco to Bangkok, from Karachi to Toronto, Metblogs are a hyper-local look at what's going on in the city." Perhaps, like Wal-Mart, they will be asked to leave - we kid, because we love.

It's weird, we must live under a rock or something because we never hear anything about this company - even if Will Wheaton does write for thier L.A. version (then again, he writes all over the place, and let's not forget it's Wesley Crusher for god's sake.) Who knew something existed beyond awesomeness of Nick Denton's Imperialist Blog Universe? Our bad.

So here we go people. The battle for the Vancouver Blogosphere just got kicked up one more notch. Sweet. Bring it on. Seriously though competition is so awesome, and we've already been told to "grow up" and that we are offering only, "Uninformed cynicism. Just what we need more of in the blogosphere" - so this is all really good news. We're psyched!

Awww... we're already delaring war? After we added you to our blog roll because I heart the Vancouverite? Say it ain't so. Can't we be friends?

As a side note I found this site through Technorati and after about three years of having my own blog that I throw Technorati tags onto all the time I actually was able to find something on a blog I write for when doing a Technorati search.

Which I suppose just goes to show how sad my own blog is.

Ah shucks, we blush. The more blogs in Vancouver, about Vancouver, the better we say Jeffrey.

It was begining to be very unfun to read about anything in this city. I think it will the most fun ever. Healthy competition is a good thing.

Thou shalt repent for using two "l"s in Wil's name! Lest ye be struck down by a mob of angry Unca Willy fans.

Really? You're getting your nose out of joint because he spelt Wil Wheaton's name wrong? Wow.....
