NoLandGrab gets "A" for effort
The new Market Facts Guide from Crain's New York Business rates NoLandGrab at the top of its class, awarding NLG an "A" among NY-area blogs that tackle an issue.
E-PICKETING: Blogs for causes
Advocacy groups are increasingly turning to blogs to further their causes and rally their supporters. The most effective sites use full-time Webmasters who have the presentation and writing skills to attract and inspire readers. Other blogs seem to talk to themselves, featuring item after item with the lonely tag "0 comments.'' Here's a snapshot of some advocacy blogs that have grabbed New Yorkers' attention-or not:
nolandgrab.org
Aims to stop Forest City Ratner's Atlantic Yards project.
Serves as project opponents' bible and reporters' reference guide. Even Forest City's people visit regularly.
NoLandGrab: Aw, shucks, we don't even have a speech prepared. But we would like to thank the Academy, Forest City Ratner for providing us with such rich material, and of course, all of you, our readers, without whom none of this would be possible.
Just one question, though: did Jim Stuckey not get a vote?
