Well, The Mecklenburgers may be on hiatus but we now have the The MecklenBlog to keep us in the loop on the county’s spin. Oh boy. This might take awhile.
Here’s a radical idea — make sure the blog has something to say. Tell us stuff we do not know, in a way we are not used to hearing. Nor is a blog an online focus group. Use Survey Monkey for that. People do not visit blogs to be peppered with questions. They want to be informed, entertained, and challenged.
And if you do ask questions, make them big and definitive like, Why do we need WTVI when we have a blog? How much are you, John Q. Hornetsnest, willing to pay for WTVI’s Public Square expansion project? Anything? See, it’s easy.
And here is a Zen concept — don’t sell the community, be it.
Woooow.
