Mayor Cohen Has A Blog!

This is gonna be great!  http://www.mayorcohen.com/ is the official blog of Josh Cohen.

Come to think of it, there are many reasons why this will not be great:

-It will inspire more people to become "blog stalkers", sucking otherwise productive people out of the private sector.

-It is much harder to take someone's words out of context and use it against them when the entire context exists in print for everyone to see.

-There are more blogs to read each day, reducing the number of people viewing this blog and the amount of time each person who does visit can spend here.

What I would love to see is an official Twitter page where Josh tweets his activities at several points during the day.  "Visited a sister city today", "My pen ran out of ink while signing the union contract", "Stressed out cuz expenditures exceed revenues".  Technology at work.

Update: I can't believe it.

I am delighted to see this step. The proof, of course, will be in how well our new Mayor makes use of it. (I just like saying 'our new Mayor.')

I keep wondering when someone will take down the blog "Dialog with Mayor Ellen Moyer." Once she used it to blast her critics, in a most unprofessional manner, it seemed to serve no other purpose.

"Our new mayor."

I just had to say it one more time.
