Adam Gaffin Offers A Few Tips for Christopher Lydon

When I read Christopher Lydon’s description about the “New England Common” discussion he’ll be leading at the upcoming Media Giraffe conference, I was a little confused. He writes:

[W]hy don’t we at the core of New England have something like the group blogs we admire — the aggregative web power — at the Huffington Post, say, or Daily Kos, or Talking Points Memo and now, TPM Cafe? Isn’t there a way to build such a thing in Boston and Massachusetts while a very good governor’s race is building steam?

As Adam Gaffin at Universal Hub points out here, there is Blue Mass Group. And hey, there’s even Adam’s own Universal Hub. And it’s really not just Adam’s site, anyone can create a free account at UH and post news stories, blog entries, photos, etc.
