It's A Blog Eat Blog World

In the news of the trivial, we have this:

UrbanMilwaukee.com, an online news daily, will purchase ThirdCoastDaily.com, an online arts and entertainment publication, representatives of the publications announced Monday.

The sale will become effective Dec. 1, according to a news release from Urban Milwaukee.

Urban Milwaukee publisher Dave Reid said the publication's editor, Bruce Murphy, will also be the editor of Third Coast.

I didn't even know one blog could buy another one.

Maybe Jeff and Meg and I need to sit down and consider this. We could take on a blog or three. Maybe start with Wisconsin Soapbox. After all, he already has writing privileges here.

On a serious note, I wonder about what kind of coverage the Milwaukee Independent Film Festival is going to get. The folks at Urban Milwaukee are awfully fond of Chris Abele, who stole bought the festival.  Given Murphy's track record regarding Abele, I'm sure their coverage will be "objective."
