The Thrillist is the latest national "ist" franchise blog to set up shop in San Francisco, debuting here today after establishing itself first in New York and Los Angeles (Chicago is supposedly next). But judging by its lame sole entry -- praising a brunch and football spot in the Marina called Jones, which it covers using language that sounds like a bad advertorial plug -- I don't think the SFist (which has a plethora of local items everyday, compared to the Thrillist's sole offering) has much to fear. In fact, SF's average blogger in bunny slippers offers more and better content than these guys. Next.

Thanks for your warm welcome. For a second I thought you might be passing judgment without having taken a good look at the range of topics we cover--like the inventive local designer we covered today--but after reading on I realized that you had read one whole article. I'm really sorry if you didn't like it, but I wouldn't expect a big time writer like you to be impressed by a hack like me. I'm thinking positive though--maybe one of the four people who read your blog will take pity on me. Can't wait to meet you!

Hey, it's a tough media environment, what can I say? But if y'all had the money to hire the PR firm that contacted me, maybe you could put a few more resources into content. San Francisco could use more media voices, but I don't really think we need more business profiles.
