More on-line news in Florida than ever

Here's a link to a good roundup in the St. Pete Times on the growth of on-line news sources in Florida. Interesting that the new one on the block is secretive about its financial backers but says its news will be "fair and balanced" and people are tired of negative stories. Gosh, wonder what could be happening there. Rupert, are you in this picture?

Thanks to the good guys at Progress Florida for pointing out this story. Progress Florida is mentioned in the article, too. You can sign up to get their daily roundup of what's going on around Florida and be as smart as your blogger.

Lesson from Australia: Big oil spill from "safe" offshore rig

Our friends at Progress Florida make a good point about offshore oil drilling. You can say it's safe, but then there's a horrific oil spill. One happening now in Australia.

There's a link to send a fax to the Florida legislature on this issue. Do it. I did. Thanks, Progress Florida.
