We just got news (via Wired News) that a Scarborough Research study is naming our own Austin the bloggingest city in the nation, based on the percentage of residents who read or write blogs. (Photo: Flickr DanHerron)
Austin topped the stats with 15% of adults reading or writing blogs, edging out Portland, OR (14%), and the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose at 13%).
With that in mind, here’s a shout out to some of the great Austin blogs that are part of our network:
- In the Pink Texas
- Burnt Orange Nation
- Styleshaker.com
- Pink Dome
- Austin Startup
- Capitol Annex
- Burnt Orange Report
- BlueBloggin
- The Muckraker
Another couple of honorable mentions to the Austinist, That Other Paper and do512 as great local blog-ish community resources.
We know we’re not mentioning all the great Austin blogs — note the ones we missed in our comments!
I’m based in the Austin area; does that count?
