Berkeleyside welcomes some new entrants in local coverage. The New York Times, which launched its Bay Area pages in the newspaper last week, unveiled its new Bay Area blog this afternoon.

It has a particularly strong connection with many community groups which gives the site its own flavor.

Susan, that’s a great idea. Let’s find a time to talk about ways in which we can jointly take the East Bay by storm.
Thanks, Lance! You’re on our regular reading list–love having another local site right up the road. Might be fun to collaborate on some shared polls and compare results?
Next you have to make their “what we’re reading” list 😉
