Earlier this year I set up a Twitter account to play around with this “social networking” tool and see what all of the commotion was about. After a few days, I gave up. It reminded me too much of my old chatroom and instant messaging days where I’d spend hours hanging out chattering away with [...]

Columbuser.com Has Returned
After nearly a full year of downtime, Columbuser.com has sprung back into action on Sunday. For those unfamiliar, Columbuser (which I believe is pronounced Columbus-ER, and not Columb-User) is a local website that covers mostly politics and some fun things too. I prefer the fun, but that’s just me. Anyway, check it out now that’s [...]

ColumbusUnderground.com is TOP’s Best Blog of 2008
Despite The Other Paper’s mean-spirited article about Columbus Blogging back in May, their readership still thinks Columbus Underground is the best online blog in town: Best Blog: Walker Evans and his ilk from Columbus Underground edge out Robert Duffy’s Donewaiting by a few votes. There’s at least one vote up for grabs next year, as [...]
Apologies for the Outage

Morton’s Burger Liveblogging
I took part in a bit of liveblogging tonight (transcript here) at Morton’s (website here) during their first ever “Burgers for Bloggers” event. They’re rolling out a burger for a limited time on their menu this summer and wanted to give some local food bloggers a chance to try it out first and give some [...]
Columbus Councilwoman Charleta Tavares is getting nailed by bloggers due to NBC4’s misleading reporting
Did you catch all that? Bit of a confusing headline, no? Allow me to try to explain. There was an announcement that circulated recently about the upcoming City Council hearing taking place tonight (posted here on Columbus Underground). On CU, mostly positive casual conversation took place yesterday morning, with some chatter about a bit of [...]
Restaurants in Columbus taking blogging more seriously… sorta
There’s an interesting article in today’s Dispatch about how some restaurants are taking their online marketing campaigns more seriously these days, and the new DeepWood restaurant is their prime example. The planners behind Deepwood set up a site/blog at deepwoodroad.com, but I haven’t really seen any sort of community outreach at all. A quick search [...]
