With the creator and editor of the Limey In Bermuda website taking a leave of absence from new blogs, there's a bit of a void in the Bermuda online community. While there's no official stats to indicate for sure, I'd wager that Limey's visitor stats rank near the top of the charts as far as local sites are concerned. I don't think there's another website that has a larger contibuting segment in Bermuda.
Where will people go to now for non-traditional-media driven debate on Bermuda issues? Imho.bm, Bravozulu.bm and Denis Pitcher's blog are updated frequently and offer feedback sections. Politics.bm is also active but doesn't allow for feedback. Bermudasucks.com, which has a fairly active discussion forum, probably won't shake its unfairly garnered label of being unfriendly to Bermudians. Bermynet doesn't have any interactive sections despite its overall popularity. Bermuda.com, which used to have some kind of interaction, has been reduced to a tourism site of sorts.
I suppose that the standard online newsmedia sites, namely the Bermuda Sun, will pull more visitors and get more feedback. Again, Bermuda Broadcasting is missing the boat, and what's going to happen is that some independent party is going to launch a service and trust me they'll be pulling all kinds of ad revenue.

A couple island issues
No, I'm not getting into the UBP continuing-to-splinter saga, although it's definitely food for thought. Check IMHO's and Limey's thought-provoking discussion arenas on the current local political situations. Neither am I saying anything on the Regiment's conscription fair-or-foul debate just yet (I think I will in due course), but here are a few worthy links.
I like going to islandstats.com for its solid up-to-the-minute reporting of local sports (and sports where Bermudians or sons of Bermudians are featured, such as NFL player Antonio Pierce and several college athletes), however I wonder why some of the advertisments currently there are outdated. The feature banner ad is still wishing us a happy holidays (the ads rotate, so you may not see it first time around).
Anyway, we've already logged a fatality on the roads for 2007, and it's obvious that many drivers on Bermuda's roads still drive too recklessly. I mean, our roads are in decent condition, are usually well-marked with meridian lines and proper signage in most places, however we still have people who don't know the correct procedure for reaching a roundabout, indicate when they don't have to (and the reverse!), and then there's guys like the driver of 25874 who for some reason was in the middle of traffic at the Flatts intersection when he ought to have been behind the stop line waiting for traffic to clear. Heck. Again, somebody please enforce the laws!
