Russell Shaw, the blogosphere will miss you
News came today that Russell Shaw, a former Portland Metblogger, passed away on Friday. Russell, a Portlander, was very prolific in the blogosphere writing for sites like CNET, The Huffington Post and ZDNet. I met Russell a few years ago at a meetup at the former Rose and Raindrop when I joined Metblogs. He was already entrenched in the blogosphere having started blogging for Metblogs in November of 2004. During his tenure here he wrote 350+ posts over 3 1/2 years. Just a couple of weeks ago, he emailed Betsy and I a story suggestion regarding the Oregonian not publishing the late edition. Russell was a good soul and was always there to jump in and throw up a post when things were a little quiet. He will be missed by many in the blogosphere who read his writings across the many sites where his work was published. CNETs post on Russell Shaw. Russell’s posts on Metblogs.
Alex Williams has some wonderful thought on Russ over on his site.
