It’s been a good year for Internet content in Arkansas, with several worthwhile blogs getting started. Even Brummett is getting the hang of it. The Internet is starting to get interesting around here.

The past year had some silliness too, like starting clubs for every faddish social media brand in existence. The Facebook club is pointless, so I doubt it survive more than a year or two. The Twitter group might do better because it’s a good excuse for people to get together for drinks. The fad finally jumped the shark when someone proposed an “Arkansas Bloggers Association” to confer some ersatz press credentials on bloggers. It’s easy to foresee some self-styled Internet reporter getting arrested for trespassing at a crime scene, waving his ABA card around and exclaiming “You can’t arrest me, I’m a blogger!”
