MNSpeak: Talk

Meta Media Plaudits

I can't find it online, so from the print edition of the Strib:

"At first, we were loath to admit we could possibly learn something new from some upstart local site. Then we started to, about every day. A definite 'add to favorites' contender for Twin Cities scene-watchers." -- Kristin Tillotson

I'm not sure if that's faint praise, be we'll take it.

What is so great aboutn MN Speak is that it is the only news source that contains all Twin Cities news. No World section, that's what I like most.

Regarding KSTP, I am amused because I think if you put Bob Davis or Kris Kroc on the Next Best Thing, neither one would get a call back.

For the archive, here's the Mpls. St. Paul magazine award text:

"Web designer Rex Sorgatz's blog, mnspeak.com, didn't get Dan Rather fired (though it did earn Garrison Kellor's ire when it sold those 'Prairie Ho Companion' T-shirts). It's just done what any great media does: become a daily routine. Serving as a local media curator and referee, it is both idiosyncratic, with daily links to Sorgatz's must reads (for better or for worse), and all-encompassing: Click on the Aggregator to find more than 200 locally based blogs sorted chronologically, alphabetically, by subect, and, most ingeniously, by personal set of criteria."
