Answer
Well, yes and no. It's like taosplaza.com doesn't 'cover' Taos, New Mexico. taosplaza.com does post a whole bunch of the tastiest articles and videos from Taos. If you want local news taosnews.com does town coverage and wins many awards for it. See taosdaily.com, too. They are the pulse of the day to day stuff of the town of Taos.
But taosplaza.com as an online magazine is like the global 'idea' or even the 'ideas' of Taos. Taos in cyberspace (i. e., 'the Web') is it's own thing. If you want to see what that's like we operate a public service free-of-charge Web site with 2,000+ links to genuine Taos Web sites at taoslink.com.
Rather than being about the past, for 10 years now, taosplaza.com has always been about the future. The future of art, and environment, solar, technology, lifestyle, and several other interesting topics. But above all, taosplaza.com has been playing with the future of the Web.
So yeah, I'd say taosplaza.com is 'about Taos' in a way that is bigger than the actual town. In a way that is global or 'worldwide'. And actually, taosplaza.com is growing fast at a rate of hundreds of interesting videos, articles, and news posts and delivering tens of thousands of Web pages to viewers each month.
Maybe you don't think an article or a video about an island sinking in the Pacific is relevant to Taos, but it is. It's relevant to 'the greater mind-set of Taos".
When Taos people and organizations put out good stuff, it gets posted on taosplaza.com, so the more quality stuff Taosenos post the more taosplaza.com will showcase. So if you're looking for stuff about Taos just use the taosplaza.com seacrh in the upper left and you're bound to find something of interest.
Meanwhile, we'd sure like to turn you on to info about Bovine Growth Hormone in your milk or Monsanto's' schemes, or renewable resource solutions, or southwest alternative lifestyles or financial, technical, informational..., so we post stuff with some very progressive attitudes.
Plus taosplaza.com has a lot of interesting info about the activities here in Taos - river sports, hiking, horseback, skiing, gardening, drumming, meditation, retreats, yoga, whatever. Just check out the menus on the top of the page. And that's how it is here in cyberspace.' J. R.
