Name of blog: CTA Tattler

Real name: Kevin O’Neil

Start date: June 2004

Your life story in a URL: CTATattler.com says it all!

Why do you blog? Blogging is a creative outlet for me. It allows me to use my reportorial and writing skills to tell stories. Plus I feel I’ve created a community for thousands and thousands of CTA riders.

What topic gets people going on your blog? Lately the hot topic has been bus bunching. Generally, people rant about what the CTA is doing -- or not doing -- to improve their commute.

What’s your favorite local blog that nobody has heard of? I love R.O.C.K. on the CTA-- the guy takes cell phone photos of riders and makes up stories about them.

What have you learned from blogging? I’ve learned that loyal blog readers will have no problem telling you exactly how much they disagree with something you wrote. I’ve also learned that when you get a good loyal following, they expect the best from you, and that helps me do my best.
