Secrets of the City + MNSpeak + MSP Magazine + Ciceron = ♥

This just in: Secrets of the City joins Mpls. St.Paul Magazine and MNSpeak moves to Ciceron. Taylor Carik explains:

Through the rest of this week, as the Secrets brand integrates more and more with MSP Magazine, you’ll see some changes on this site, which will stay at this web address. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine editors will contribute news to Secrets of the City from their specific areas of expertise, including food and dining, arts and entertainment and local lifestyle. Later this summer mspmag.com will be re-launching with new daily content, including city news from Secrets of the City.

Also starting this week, MNSpeak will be moving under the watchful eyes of old-timer MNSpeaker, Andrew Eklund (aeklund) and Karl Pearson-Cater (bigboxcar) at Ciceron, a digital strategy and social advocacy firm in the Twin Cities. Ciceron will be leading the charge for what the future holds for MNSpeak, re-imagining local content and conversation in the age of Facebook and Twitter.

Congratulations everybody and keep up the good work!

LOL/OMG vs. the Minnesota Zoo in the 'Best of' Showdown!

It recently came to light that LOL/OMG has scored a coveted spot in Mpls/St.Paul Magazine's "Best of 2010" issue. Pretty sweet, right? We are beyond flattered!!! The issue, which is out this week, features a nod to LOL/OMG and talks about our top notable news stories this year.

And that brings us to the next piece: a competitive online component has been launched on the MSP site, which randomly pits select 'Best of' winners against each other to create a user-generated ranking system. Five rounds of voting narrow down the #1 people's choice and just yesterday the first round of voting opened.

LOL/OMG is pitted against the Minnesota Zoo Concert Series right now and they've currently got a bit of a lead on us. We want to make it to the next round! We'll be honest and admit it's a bit complicated to register and vote, but if you do it, we will love you forever and ever (and yes, you can opt out of the MSP mailing list without fuss). Help LOL/OMG represent!
