A few days ago, we had a guest speaker in class- Kevin Freitas. Feed>>tacoma is a website that highlights the brighter side of Tacoma. Kevin started blogging in the late 90's as a way of updating his family that didn't live so close, on his daily life. More like having a conversation with his family via his blog/journal. The idea of Tacoma to many that didn't live in Tacoma was associated with negative media based stories. He decided to write on the good things he saw in Tacoma. Naturally, people were pleased to hear about his blog and fed more stories of their own into the feedtacoma section. The community bond on feedtacoma grew, people met outside the virtual world, conducted and participated in community based events...
As the first successful blogger in Tacoma, Kevin has managed to bring a great sense of community in feedtacoma. Perhaps, the greatest thing about it is that he does it all for >> FREE. Not a penny to take. It's ironic how many people would love to be paid to blog, yet when there is someone that people would love to pay..... he doesn't want a penny of it.... why? He is satisfied with what he has. His full-time job is something he enjoys to do and get paid to do. The blog is something he enjoys to do, and doesn't really need to get paid for......
I think the Tacoma feed is great for what it does/..
