Blog post #2 how to spend 24 hours in calgary

I was searching the web when I came across an interesting a post by Chris Miller entitled "How to spend 24 hours in Calgary, Alberta". Through out the post he lists different times during the day, starting at 9:05AM, and stretching to 2AM the next morning; all the while offering a helpful guide to enjoying Calgary.

Now what I found most interesting about this post is that Chris is not actually a resident of Calgary and was touring the city when he wrote this article; he is from Portland Oregon. So the guide he is offering is not only a total bias, but he really doesn't have any legitimate reason to claim he can offer a guide to a 24 hour stay in Calgary....or so you thought.

And of course someone had to point it out....

Which was promptly followed by a response from the top commenter on this blog..

What I find particularly nice about this blog is that it uses Facebook as a commenting service, so that all the commenters are using their real names, this helps add validity to the conversation, but also embarrass those whom jump to conclusions.

Another point I would like to draw attention to is that because of the Facebook commenting system many of the posts seem comments are well formulated and many of the real questions asked by visitors are responded to in a serious fashion.

I quite enjoy the activity of the posters and how their responses are not just quit little replies like what is seen with many anonymous on-line communities. For example Winston O'Toole not only provides advice on how to get to Kaslow but also some seasonal recreation advice.
