Kevin at 5ksandcabernets says that runners are nicer in Fort Worth than Austin, but they have better restaurants. Not really surprised, there …

Richie Escovedo has put a discourse online about social media tools vs. the social web, and what that all means for PR people.

Fort Worth Can Do seems to be suggesting that the earthquake felt over the weekend might be related to gas drilling. Fortworthology is apparently serious about being on hiatus, until, they say, May 22. It’s better than just disappearing, but not completely reassuring after the sign-off by West and Clear last week.

    We’re definitely still here – we’ve resumed posting today. The closure of W&C won’t be affecting Fort Worthology.

    Glad to hear it Kevin. We thought you’d be around for the long run. But isn’t Fortworthology hosted by Panther City Media? Will you have to change hosting?

    You’re welcome Rena! Your tweets and comment have stirred up my interest in visiting the Log Cabin Village, which I haven’t yet done.

    Sonja,

    Fort Worthology has been on its own hosting since Day One (a Mac-only company out of Colorado, for the curious). When we joined PCM we did not switch hosts.

    There will be zero noticeable changes on the site as a result of the W&C shutdown, save the disappearance of the ad network. Fort Worthology will be launching its own ad sales soon to pick up the slack on getting local ads in front of readers.

    Thanks for the shout-out and check back Thursday for more photos. I’ll be posting some fun turn-of-the-century pictorialist stuff.

    We are hosted by godaddy.com … I’ve had them hosting my blogs and websites since 2002. Force of habit, but I’ve never been disappointed. And you CAN call them 24-7, to me that’s worth a lot.

    Glad you’ll be around, and still shocked by West and Clear’s bowing out.

    Sonja – thanks for the post mention and for these round-up posts.

    You’re welcome Richie, I’m glad keeping tabs on the Fort Worth blogs is a worthwhile service I can provide.
