The Business Week article is very long. I have not fully digested it yet. It was one day. Maybe Columbus was particularly bloggy on that day.
I am sure many in Cleveland, Cinci, Akron, Dayton, Toledo, Youngstown as well as Indianapolis, Detroit and others are saying "Columbus?" World class blogging from Columbus?
Columbus Ohio is a stop on Blog Tour USA in July 2007.
