1. That's great!

I hope they find her.

"The Philadelphia police and the detectives are involved now, and they're making this their priority case," Stephenson said, adding that the very close family was bearing the strain "as well as can be expected."

2. Engaging the echo chamber really does work.

They are paying attention and feeling the heat.

No mention of why they didn't report on it earlier but does mention that people are complaining that it's not being covered



Blair said he has been covering this story on his site because he does not think it has gotten the publicity it deserves.

"I just didn't feel that this story had been given any publicity -- young, black woman out of the ghetto. ... I want them to know that there's people out there thinking about them," he said.

Blair said he hopes fellow bloggers will not see this as a political issue, but will come together to increase publicity and donate to the reward fund.

"In a situation like this where you have a network of blogs working together, there's not politics to this story. This could happen to anyone of us," he said.

6. I'm glad they mentioned that

I wrote them twice about this.

Latoyia still gets only about half a dozen hits for news coverage in Google, while the Aruba story gets over 6K
