Rumblings: Um, Yeah, I Think I’m On The List
>>>We’d be remiss not to mention that USA Today has chosen Philly as it’s 2nd-bloggiest city. Who bested us? Boston, with 89 blog posts per 100,000 residents, while we come in at 88. We’re just not a city meant to win anything. Now go blog about that. [Blinq]
>>> NBC10 is suffering from the Best Of Philly syndrome. The symptoms? Their Best/Worst Philly Movies list, which gives best honors to National Treasure and Jersey Girl, then expects you to continue reading in complete seriousness after that. Best of luck. [NBC10]
>>> And the hits keep coming: Philly gets the nod — the only nod, we should add — for the “Urban Innovators” category in Fast Company‘s “Cities On The Verge” poll of innovative cities. We’re thinking “Urban Innovators” is nice-talk for “taking the shit sandwich that is your city and MacGuyvering into something approximating awesome.” So thank you, Fast Company. No, seriously, thank you. We feel the same way. [FastCompany via NoLibs.org]

About the Fast Company list — Philly didn’t win in this category — it was the sole “runner up” behind those cities that DID win — Curitiba, Brazil; Salt Lake City, Utah (hunh?); and Tallinn, Estonia. Woo-hoo!
