SONO Slammed on Popular Website
Filed Under Business, Food and Beverage | 2 Comments
If SONO believes that there is no such thing as bad publicity, they’ll be thrilled to see that they’ve been featured on The Consumerist. The popular pro-consumer website receives close to a million visitors per month and has already collected 71 comments and 8,481 viewings since it was published yesterday.
More likely than being pleased with the coverage, they’re likely horrified - assuming they even know. As stated in the link and all right and wrong aside, keeping your customers happy is the name of the game, especially early on.
…”when you are new you are busy but 4 months down the road it will only be repeat business that keeps these places open and I will not visit there again. “

Raleigh Chronicle Shutting Down
Filed Under Local Sites | 4 Comments
The Raleigh Chronicle has stated it will be shutting down on Tuesday, April 14th. A short paragraph on the site says that more details are to come, and that the paper has been purchased.
After serving over a million readers in the Raleigh community, the locally owned Raleigh Chronicle will close on Tuesday, as another newspaper purchases the publication. A more detailed story will appear on Tuesday, the final day of publication for the Raleigh Chronicle.
I’ll be interested to see who bought this and how it pans out. I could never really wrap my head around the Chronicle. In concept, I loved the idea of a local independently owned paper, but in practice, I could never really understand the paper’s position in the publishing/news community. They seemed to straddle the line between a local interest site with original stories and the mainstream news media who serve as a single source for local news.

N&O Mention
Filed Under Local Sites, RFP Site News | Leave a Comment
The Free Press got a little ink in this Sunday’s edition of the N&O. If anyone is visiting the site for the first time–welcome, and thanks for stopping by. You may want to peruse the Archives to catch up on some content of yore. We’ve been a little quiet of late.
Also, congrats to John Morris for his coverage. John runs the site Goodnight, Raleigh! and is very deserving of the attention. I hope it drives more visitors to his site and helps to fuel his efforts.

The site was down for several hours today. Perhaps the recent rains infiltrated the sites flux capacitor. Rest easy, all seems to be well now.
