South Bay Blog Roundup #2
It’s been nearly a year since our first South Bay Blog Roundup, and there’s been a few changes in the local online scene. San Jose Revealed is long gone, at least one newsblog has become a spam factory, and there’s a couple of newcomers you’ll really want to read:
- 1906 UltrasSan Jose Earthquakes.
- ARTSHIFT San Jose. Covering the local art scene. Great for what’s coming up around town.
- Behind the Scenes Real Estate Scenes in Silicon Valley I haven’t looked at this one much, but it sure does have a long name.
- Bomb$hell Lifestyle. You may need a certain number of piercings or tattoos to really appreciate this blog.
- Center Line Soccer. Covering the Quakes and FC Gold Pride.
- Fugitive Watch. The local, online version of America’s Most Wanted.
- Good Morning Silicon Valley. Mostly local news and commentary by John Murrell. Somehow connected to the Merc.
- History San Jose Blog. From San Jose’s official history museum. The blog hasn’t been active for months, but I have hopes it’ll come back to life.
- Hoosier Burger Boy. A transplanted Indianan in Palo Alto reviews (mostly) local burger joints.
- Mannerisms. Covering the electronics industry. Maybe a stretch to call this a local blog.
- Mission City LanternNo-holds-barred local politics.
- Mount Um Malcontent. A new blog getting a slow start, but promising.
- Mountain View Public Library. Books and events at the library.
- Politicon Valley. Local and state politics.
- The San Jose Blog. Very active downtown-focused local news blog.
- San Jose Day-by-Day. Daily life, photos, and news from downtown San Jose.
- San Jose Inside. Originally the blog of former mayor Tom McEnery and a few friends, now seems to be morphing into part of Metro Newspapers’ online presence.
- A Silicon Valley Life. Personal blog.
- Silicon Valley Moms. Parenting and local lifestyle. Probably the best writing you’ll find on this list.
- Silicon Valley Roller Girls’ Blog
- Silicon Valley Sleuth. Industry gossip.
- SiliconValley Warrior Blog The corporate lifestyle.
- Silicon Valley Watcher. Industry news and gossip.
- Two Heel Drive. South bay centered hiking blog.
- Watch Dog Silicon Valley. Daily news summary and review.

As before, I’m sure I’ve missed some good blogs. If you know one that isn’t listed here, let us know in the comments!
What a great list. I’m definitely going to check out the hiking blog!
Some great new local blogs to check out, thanks!
