Feed Tacoma

Kevin Freitas visit to class was great! I really enjoyed everything he was talking about. After looking over the feed Tacoma site for the first time, I was amazed at how hyperlocal it was. It’s amazing how a community can come together and create something like this just through blogging. His passion and determination to improve the city of Tacoma is shown all over the feed Tacoma site. I think its great how there is not just one person managing the content on this site, but it is built through other people’s perspectives and comments.

Kevin Talked about many interesting aspects of the things he does. I found incredible was that many events were created organically through the feed Tacoma site. For example, the chalk off even that occurred all summer long is awesome. It was an event that was open to everyone and helped saved a park from being closed down, yet being very fun at the same time.

I believe Kevin is on the right track to in making Tacoma a better known city. It seems that his goal is to help emphasis all the great things that Tacoma has to offer and how the community has a voice and can makes changes towards improving the city. His site offers so much to many people and I love the fact that little shops can sell their items online, I hope this becomes even bigger!!!
