For those interested in Blogs and politics, the Washington Post has some interesting comments: (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A53618-2003Apr29.html) <snip> It seems this morning that bloggers have taken over the world. Or at least the 2004 presidential campaign. Or at least the not-so-invisible primary leading up to the campaign. The pundits are blogging. The journalists are blogging. And now the candidates are blogging. Who needs television? Let's just eliminate the middleman. Here's the deal: ABC's The Note (which went AWOL during the war but is now back) has gone beyond offering its cheeky interpretation of campaign spin. It now offers free space (hey, it's all free in cyberspace) to the '04 contenders to add their own cheeky interpretation of their own campaign spin. Getting dizzy yet? So now we have the following exciting scenario: Candidate gives speech. ABC News reports speech. ABC's Note blogs speech. Then candidate blogs his own speech, knocking down any negative interpretation by other bloggers. And we blog the whole incestuous process. Turns out that some candidates � notably Howard Dean, and increasingly-looking-like-a-candidate Gary Hart � have their own blogs. This raises the disturbing prospect of a blog deficit for the other contenders. What are Kerry, Gephardt and Edwards thinking? We expect them to close the blogging gap immediately. </snip> __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
