I find it interesting to see how “the blogosphere” is being leveraged, blamed, honored, and tapped during this “final year” before the 2008 Presidential Elections. Here’s a spattering:
“All seven candidates fought for the support of the powerful and polarizing liberal blogosphere by promising universal health care, aggressive government spending, and dramatic change from the Bush era.” Via Philadelphia Inquirer
“Democratic presidential candidates paid homage this weekend to the growing power of the blogosphere as a political organizing tool.” Via NPR News
“This is one of those cases of a lazy reporter who doesn’t understand the blogosphere trying to make a news story out of nothing. Because they are leftists, they use the “union” terminology, but the goals are identical to what you describe” Via Outside Beltway
“The effort is an extension of the blogosphere’s growing power and presence, especially within the political realm, and for many, evokes memories of the early labor organization of freelance writers in the early 1980s.” Via CNN
