Early last month, a contributor to the Business Insider dropped the Technically Phillly name and some other references to the Philadelphia online indie media scene:
Hyper-local advertising and content. Speaking of my home base of Philadelphia, the hyper-local eco-system here features sites of every make and model. Examples: PhillySportsDaily.com leaves local sports radio 610WIP.com & 950TheFan in the dust with its 24/7 online sports coverage & analysis. Gawker-influenced; Philebrity.com, probably assisted in the decline of our once great alt-weekly: City Paper. Smart and dominant technology coverage of ‘Philacon Valley’ by the young team at TechnicallyPhilly.com certainly must embarrass the top brass at the legendary Philadelphia Business Journal. And if you taste-test the foodie editorial of JerseyBites.com, it’s easy to imagine this content eventually being licensed or sold to The Food Network or Fodors. MORE
Thanks Mel.
Cool. Nice press.
btw, Parker was boycotting the Philebrity awards because of the omission of TP from “City Publication of the Year” and “General Excellence in Writing”.
We decided it was a crime against humanity, but I was able to convince him to vote for YIP after he realized there were separate submission buttons for every category. 🙂
Ha, thanks for the support Salas in all regards!
