Reporting on Weblogs Neglects Political Networks
Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 23 years ago, in 2001, on the World Wide Web.
Not to be self-referential or anything, but Slate is running an article on blogging. Unfortunately, while mentioning several community blogs such as Slashdot, they neglect one of the most successful community-participation sites of all, the Independent Media Center. Or, on the other side of the political arena, Free Republic. These political sites are totally revolutionizing the way people in political movements network, get news, and organize actions. Slashdot … reviews computer books. Oh well.
