Raleighing Back on the Blog Scene

July, 05, 2009 , by Jedidiah

Chris Anderson, over at Raleighing (one of the original blogs in the Raleigh area) has announced that he’ll start typing away on the internets in the near future. Anderson posted a letter on Sunday evening about his intent on the new Raleighing site, adding a few words about New Raleigh and GogoRaleigh (Dana was part of the original Raleighing as well).

It’s good to see Chris back on the scene. New Raleigh will keeps its eyes peeled to the homepage. Read Chris’s full description of the future of Raleighing here.

Not that kind of scooping, at least

Ok, now I think it would be a good idea for me to use this first post to explain why I’m bringing raleighing back and what I expect it to be this time around. Upon hearing about the impending return, a Twitterer wondered if this would impact readership at sites such as Gogoraleigh.com and New Raleigh. My answer to that would be that I expect to have no impact at all. If anything, I hope I can occasionally send a few more readers their way because I discuss one of their articles, etc. I do not plan on competing with any of the spectacular Raleigh blogs to get the latest scoops. This is primarily due to the fact I am just not as hip as I used to be. My wife and I certainly partake of a lot of what Raleigh has to offer, just not at the rate we used to. Mix this with the awesome job the Raleigh blogs are doing keeping us all in the know, and I don’t really think I’d add that much to the flow of news.

So why bring raleighing back?

Well, as any readers of the old raleighing know, I occasionally have things to say and have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. Every now and then I’ll have a meal at a new restaurant that I really want to tell someone about. Or I’ll see a new development that I’d like to discuss. Or I’ll read an article somewhere I’d like to share with others. I’d like to have a place to do this.
