The Australian ran an article a few days ago comparing the blog scene in Melbourne with that in Sydney. A few interesting quotes: ...
"Weblog culture seems to go deep; it is easy to find Melbourne weblogs with visual flair and good writing. None of this, of course, is obvious to an interstate visitor wandering along Swanston Street.
"Melbourne is very much a secret place," says Badger, who lives in East St Kilda.
"All our good bars and venues are hidden down scary, weird alleyways in places where the only sign is a projection on a wall opposite. We like discovering things, we don't want them to be too easy to get.
"So weblogs, and the anonymity they afford the writer, suit us and our dark, secret personalities – of course, this could well be just me."
Alas, I didn't receive a mention - probably because I've chosen not to take that anonymous route to the world of blogging.
