The One True b!X has a post (link below) about the Oregonian resorting to a weblog to get news out.
Here is part of the post from The One True b!X.
Advance Internet maintains the web presences of several newspapers across the country, including that of our very own Oregonian. Problem is, their hosting provider is in the Northeast, and has been down due to the blackout.Posted by John at August 16, 2003 01:33 PM | TrackBackYesterday, their sites simply offered a story on the blackout and links to the newspaper sites they maintain. Of course, they were useless because they were just pointing to that self-same page.
Today however, this changed. Advance Internet newspaper sites still present a list of links -- but this time they were different. They were to weblogs (most of them hosted on Blogspot), being used to publish the newspaper content and geographically-relevant Associated Press articles.
NOTE: I've got better things to do than erase the childish, immature, psychotic, obscene comments from looney Roger Weidner and his gang of illiterate morons, so just put your opinions at the Johnhays.net Forum.
