Community Corner
Wanted: Local Voices
If you like to write but are unsure of how a blog works, keep reading.
We are looking for a few good bloggers to share their talents on Southeast-Brewster Patch starting next week. Like to write but not sure what a blog is? We explain more below!
The new age of social media and online news has some funny terms and even though it took a while, it seems like many people know what a “Tweet” is (a 140-character message sent via Twitter). But the term “blog,” which precedes Facebook, Twitter, Foursqaure and more, has been somewhat ambiguous since its inception.
Southeast-Brewster Patch is charged to change that!

A blog is simply an online journal where someone shares his or her expertise, opinion or experience. I like to call it community contribution, but you can call it anything you like.
We are looking for residents or those with ties to the area to contribute regularly to our community website. When I first launched Southeast-Brewster Patch in December of 2010, I envisioned the website to be a virtual Town Green where the community could come together to chat, share ideas, keep up to on local news and happenings, but most importantly connect with our town and each other; blogging is one more way to do this.
