KRON Bay Area Bloggers

KRON 4 TV in the Bay Area has stealthily added a new Bay Area is Talking (bait) page.

I notice that, as of this writing, their Blogroll link brings up Courtney's SF Bay Bloggers page. Smart of them to use an existing resource rather than creating the wheel from scratch. They bring it up in a frame, though, disabling the scroll bar and obscuring the fact that it's a different web site. Hope they fix that soon.

Update: Guess they decided to roll their own, after all. They no longer link to Courtney's site.

Update to the update: As Brian Shields notes in the comments for this post, the situation is fluid, and will hopefully result in SF Bay Bloggers being the blogroll used for KRON. Stay tuned.

I just wanted to update you on what's going on with our blogroll.

We very much want to work out a partnership with SFBayBloggers.com. We've had discussions with Courtney and we think we can make this work.

Unfortunately, I have a few corporate hoops to jump through to make this happen... and none of that will get resolved this week. For the record, all of these issues are on our end and have nothing to do with Courtney who has been nothing but friendly and cooperative at this point.

So here's what we're doing. We're soft launching the site today with the list of blogs in our aggregator. We're not saying this is THE list of Bay Area Bloggers, just our list for now. When we can get all of the details worked out with Courtney, we plan to re-open the link to her site.

Sorry if this is all a little convoluted but while we're trying to break out of corporate media thinking, I still have the corporate media bureaucracy to deal with.

It's a process.. and thanks for blogging about us.. and please visit the site and take part in the conversation.

Thanks

Thanks for the update, Brian! It's hard to change a mindset. I'll definitely be checking out your progress. I'm interested to see if the blogging section of your site ends up being another KRON "channel".
