Social media works in strange ways, even locally. Here’s a very recent example. . .
My wife, Kari and I, are both on Twitter (@STRduo and @RealEstateZebra). Yesterday, she came across a tweet from fellow Charlottesville area resident and blogger, Marijean Jaggers. Kari sent me the link in the tweet, which took me to a post on Marijean’s blog, STLWorkingMom. The post is about Marijean’s new feature series on the local television station, CBS-19.
Marijean is going to be on CBS-19 every Tuesday during the 6:30 newscast, where she will feature an area “Blog of the Week.” How freakin’ cool is that?! Local bloggers will be featured every week on TV! The Charlottesville area has a very vibrant blogging community, and it is good to see it getting some recognition.
The first “Blog of the Week” is from right here in Fluvanna
The first installment of the “Blog of the Week” was yesterday. For their first featured blogger, CBS-19 chose a Fluvanna County Resident, Dana Adams, and her blog– Frugal in Virginia. You can read the CBS-19 story, or even watch the video. Marijean did her own feature on Dana, as well.
Dana writes a very important blog, helping folks find deals on the things they buy every day here in the Charlottesville area. CBS-19 and Marijean did a great job sharing and promoting her blog to the community. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see folks like Marijean out there promoting great area bloggers like Dana.
There is more to come. . .
So, if you’d like to learn more about area bloggers, make sure you watch CBS-19 every Tuesday at 6:30, where you will find Marijean featuring another blog; and if you are looking to save some money (aren’t we all?), make sure you visit Frugal in Virginia. You can even follow Dana on Twitter.
Congrats to Marijean and Dana, and I can’t wait for the next installment of “Blog of the Week.”
