Leo Morris celebrates his 500th post:
Since this blog debuted, Fort Wayne has developed the beginnings of a real blogosphere. There are three other blogs I check every day -- Fort Wayne Observed and Tracy Warner's site, which got online before me, and Indiana Parley, the newest kid on the block -- and quite I few I look in on regularly (not to mention a growing number of Indiana blogs that I find myself quoting and linking to). Some real back-and-forth conversations are taking place, and news is beginning to be broken on blogs.
Leo deserves a lot of credit for seeing the potential of blogging from the very beginning, and he's always been willing to help other local bloggers. If you need proof, just listen to his podcast interview from July. Not only did he predict some of the very things that we're starting to see, but the fact that he was willing to do the interview instantly legitimized my podcasts.
I think Leo's blogging on the newspaper business and how the Internet is changing how we communicate has been his best work. For two examples, see this and this.
Oh, and Leo also provided us with what has to be considered the Fort Wayne blogoshere's quote of the year:
There. Is. No. Plan.
