Yesterday I had a blog post that garnered a lot of attention. I wrote about a South Ogden man who has been arrested and is being accused of transporting nearly 30+ kilos of cocaine into Rhode Island. I posted my blog post at 12:28 pm yesterday. (See Post Here) My fellow tweeters then tweeted the message to others (Thanks Mike Brice) and before I knew it everyone in the state was covering the story. Now I do not know if I scooped everyone or if I was just the fastest to get it posted. But 2 1/2 hours later the story broke on the Standard Website and then it continued to pop up all over the net and into the papers today.
It was a fun experience to be involved with the news and my goal has always been to help gather information and share it with residents of South Ogden and the state of Utah. Yesterday this little blog did just that. I hope to can continue and I am thankful for the friends and reporters that have encouraged me in this process and especially yesterday.
Here are some more news articles related to yesterdays post:
