Nope. In our World Three means Threesomes

Our post from last night about the impending Blog War over Vancouver has generated a nice little debate. (Note to staff: graphics featuring nuclear bomb blasts are a winner.) Our friends over at Metroblogging have a good post recognizing our attitude about playing nice with the other blogs, and calls for us to collectively make fun of CanWest. Done & Done.

Meanwhile, Richard Eriksson over at Urban Vancouver doesn't believe it's a war at all, taking the Jeff Jarvis line that, "blogging is not a battle nor is it a war, but rather it's a conversation." That's a fair point, but just becuase we're in the citizen's media era, doesn't mean that competition has to stop at the url. And what we don't want to do is to drift anywhere near this hopeless direction. Kris Krug, who needs to post more often, says, "but it is is war in that only one site can come up FIRST when you type 'vancouver blog' into google."

At anyrate, all of this is making the Vancouver blog scene a much more fun and lively place. And making fun of the Global Overlords will be good (what evil lies at the Can West Employee Store website for instance- Asper hats?), getting bought out by them (Hi Leonard!) or taking them over (realy? just $10.64/share today) will be even better.
