Last night was “a night for history.” USAToday said so this morning. I guess the Nation’s Newspaper thought I missed it, marginalized as it was. The editors probably thought I was too busy switching between the convenient coverage by the networks (musn’t pre-empt America’s Got Talent). Or shouting at the mind-numbing graphics and prolific pundits […]
Comment and Confession: I’ve been sleep-walking through the coverage of the Democratic National Convention in Denver this week. I thought I’d enjoy and benefit by watching from afar, like TechPresident’s Micah Sifry. The truth is, I haven’t watched much from anywhere. I should have been paying more attention – and thankfully, someone else has been. […]
I’m trying to speed up my blogging – and here, ta-da, I’m writing my first post with a Firefox extension called ScribeFire Blog Editor. It isn’t new – it’s been downloaded more than 1.7 million times. But it’s new for me. I’ve long heard about Flock, a browser that’s supposed to be great for bloggers. […]
Or, if we want to get highbrow about it: Widgetized political discourse Amid the sea of online opinion, polls and analysis, maybe less is more. That could be a selling point for a pair of new political widgets launched by Civis Online.

Polish editors tired of U.S. journo’s sob story Don’t let the demise of the U.S. news industry fool you, or the endless chatter about what caused it and who’s to blame. That conversation, while it may be important for historical analysis, for defining new opportunities and for cathartic relief, ignores a much bigger one: Around […]
Four years ago, a handful of of bloggers received credentials to cover the Democratic National Convention. The controversial credentials, opposed by MSM, were mocked as gimmicks. Silly, we opined back then, because nearly everyone attending the 2008 conventions would be a blogger. Our forecast is at hand. This will be the most blogged, v-logged, streamed, […]
The text thing is more than cool. But does it demonstrate a new kind of leadership? I want more follow up than a form to donate money. Still, I’m happy to get the message about your veep candidate at the same time as everyone else, dude. And what a tool for voter turnout in November […]
