Metro Blogs

What are Metro Blogs, anyway?

"We're kind of that friend of yours that always knows what's happening in the city," said Jen Chung, editor-in-chief of the New York-based blog Gothamist.com, where she encouraged theatergoers this week to get out and see New York International Fringe Festival theater, passing along that "we hear that this is the first year that all the venues are air-conditioned -- woo-hoo!" --CNN.com

For those bloggers who haven't quite found the niche they want to blog about, this could be an attractive area if someone isn't already blogging about your home town. Consider the numbers. Gothimist.com is getting about 30,000 unique visitors daily.
