DC Blogs, a blog that surveys the local blog scene started by journalist Pat Thibodeau, launched today a page that aggregates the content of many of the blogs he highlights on their own page.

Last night even though I was late the monthly blogger meetup went smashingly with about 20 people in attendance. It was good to see Celeste, Michael, and Eddie who lives in San Francisco and dropped by for a visit. Always Write has a better list of attendees, Pat and I forgot to send around a […]
